He previously was (and probably still is) a fan of job outsourcing and crowdsourcing, to cheapest global labor costs, nevermind the brain drain that it would cause, and the cut in real GDP by downward wage movement in higher wage nations. If you wanted to create a structural employment problem, this was the way to go.

For him to talk about the miracle of technology that would make US manufacturing competitive...well that's years behind. I made that argument three years ago as 3D printers were first becoming mainstream. He's Johnny come lately.
