I read Mitt's first action (Personal Reemployment Accounts)
as a give-away of government $ to companies that say they are "re-training" the unemployed.
Others have said that re-training is now free to the unemployed,
and this will be undermined by funding cuts, so the workers
will have to pay for their own training and (temporary) employment.

I read the second action as an immigration policy of bringing CEO's
from foreign companies into the country to run/control US businesses.
I find it hard to believe there is a true shortage of US men and women
who can manage or start up a new company, or invent something worth patenting.

Considering his history of outsourcing as a business man, this isn't surprising. If a foreigner comes here on his own for a chance to work as a high level exec and he manages to get the job, fine. If the function of that part of the policy is that of an idea exchange, like an 'exchange student' program for executive level people, fine. But both of those are different than our President essentially putting up job notices in other countries and insisting they come here to lead.
