Here Is What I Wished They Talked About At The Detroit Make It In America Hearing

So last night I went to a congressional field hearing regarding economics. Don't worry I'm uploading it to Youtube. I don't know if I left early but I couldn't help but feel disappointed. I didn't feel like many of the issues I care about were addressed. In my head I kept thinking "Where is the Beef", so here are a list of the bullet points that were running through my head.

• The increasing presence of freelance, part time, and contract workers in the economy and how they effect affect both union and governmental policy. 
• How does the government and unions for that matter protect or plan to the LGBT community from workplace discrimination.
• How has the economic recession effected affected the education of the workforce as many education funds are based on property taxes? (Especially With Michigan's Prop A)
• In the current climate in Washington how would jobs, or education legislation get funded
• In president Obama's State of the Union he mentioned using community colleges as grades 13 and 14/America's College Promise where is that plan now?
• How does transportation funding both state and federal effect the economy?
• How does the private industry train employees. Is the unpaid internship the new starting position?
• Address the talk in the Michigan Legislature of slashing the Budget of the Michigan Economic Development Corporation
• What is the democratic position on the Trans Atlantic Trans-Pacific trade bill. The protectionist rhetoric there doesn't quite gel with the idea of training the modern worker to compete in the market?
• Could hard data be provided regarding the availability of vocational jobs?  I just don't think the idea of training people in those jobs even modernized versions of them makes as much sense as it used to in the modern economy? (Note: I'll admit I'm wrong.)
