If you're in Denver, head over to the Korbel ballroom (4E-4F) of the Colorado Convention Center for the AFL-CIO / American Prospect "All Boats Rising: Transforming the American Economy" event featuring Sen. Sherrod Brown, Rep. Donna Edwards, Sen. Amy Klobuchar, Paul Krugman, Julianne Malveaux, Jorge Mursuli, John Sweeney, and Richard Trumka and moderated by Harold Meyerson and Ezra Klein. Also, check out Dana's interview with Sherrod Brown on the main site:
Dana Goldstein: How should Obama be talking about the loss of manufacturing jobs?
Sherrod Brown: First of all, there's the failure of the last eight years to have any manufacturing policy. That includes energy, taxes, trade, job training, community college, all of that. There has been no federal effort on any of that. Second, I think Barack needs to be more specific on trade policy, on tax policy, on all of that. He's talked about how tax-law incentivizes corporations to outsource jobs. He really has to talk more about job-killing trade agreements, what that has done to us. He needs to make the contrast with McCain on all of these things. [McCain has] gone to both Detroit and Youngstown and basically said, "These jobs are gone, get over it."
