Have you watched the video I linked?

If so ... why will the US be the only exception from the entire planet in terms of future evolution of their country? Do you think that there will never be a debt and/or dollar crisis?

My Grandpa was in Local 51. A pipe fitters Union out of Toledo. All govt. jobs back then HAD to pay a prevailing wage. Whatever the unions bargained. A Union Company always got the job. If a non union outfit tried to compete messages were sent. Subtle at first then escalated as needed. i just can't shake the FACT that those were better times. Plenty of work to go around and your family made a living wage. When people stuck together you didn't have the CEO making 3000 times what the assembly line worker made. Forgotten times and we've lost a lot of what made this country great.

BS Mach....US Manufactures failed to compete with global competition both for price and quality. Especially the auto industry. The UAW has to take a large portion of the blame for it. They artificially raised wages through coercion and their members simply built a lousy product.
