wow it is truly great to sit back and look at all the LEFT AND RIGHT wingers out there... It is just awesome.. All I can say is that there is a point that the problem ISN'T that the companys make their product overseas and then ship it here to sell it.. THAT is called good business. Make cheap, sell pricey. That is how a company stays afloat. But we should be asking HOW are they doing it. Maybe it is because the UNIONS made the wages sooo over inflated. Look at the price of a new chevy car today compared to 20 years ago. Then take into account inflation and it is still out of whack.
Now before anyone takes a shot at me for hating the unions, I don't hate them. But they have made their own bed. I work in a manufacturing plant, I am not union. We are one of the last ones around this area because we are NOT union. TRUE i don't make $30-$40 an hour. But I never expected to without a college degree. They pay me a fair wage. And since they don't pay a laborer 50k a year they can keep their prices down and stay in business. And thus i get to keep my job. You want Americans to go back to work.... Tell them to lower the expectations if they have no degree. Be happy with middle class. You wont get to drive a BMW but you will still be able to make your house payment.
One last thing.... This health care CRAP is REALLY REALLY bad for the economy. But no one wants to talk about all the money(and thusly jobs) that will be lost in the private health care market.
