Stimulating Skills

The business journalistic press wants more stimulus
for skilled worker training as China gets more expensive
and the USD is worth less and less. Oddly enough,
the article claims US productivity will somehow remain
high because it has more skilled workers. Does that sort of
thing just get boiler-plated into business prose? or will the US have
some skilled workers and some superskilledrockstarworkers?

We don't need any skilled workers. All we need is knowledge workers. Haven't you been following the Mike Rowe thread?

I wonder what the 'business journalistic press' had to say when all the shop classes were being dismantled to pay for computers in the 90s?

Good Question. I searched for a few moments on Google (only knowledge workers skills were harmed in building Google) and found many semi abandoned websites. Such as the breif years of one Miss Teen Southern Newfoundland event. It ended in 2005, or the skills to keep the website were lost:
