As we start to look around at what we have to do to make this economic mess get back to a driving force in the world you have to ask yourself who will do it. Their are a great deal of people that think the government should fix the problems and take care of the people. This will not happen. We have to take it upon our selves to make our economy come back, hard work and loyalty will see us through. Manufacturing has to come back to the U.S. and the only way to do this is through the dismantling of the unions that have priced us out of the world market.
What do you want to do to fix it?
Do you want to sit and wait on government.

You have mistaken propaganda for fact when you say the unions have caused the economic crisis. The truth is that, although there ought to have been some reforms in the unions’ structure, the dismantling of unions begun under President Reagan is the only reason that jobs were allowed to be sent abroad. A strong union movement was the bulwark protecting American workers from having to compete with lower living standard workers in China and India and elsewhere. As business owners moved abroad to take advantage of cheaper labor abroad, they forgot that the people who buy their products need jobs to pay for them, so this inane policy both ruined the great American economy, pulled down wages and lost jobs in this country and left few able to purchase the goods here. Just the usual short-sighted Republican “Do everything on the cheap” practice – and look what it brought us.
I urge you to rethink your syance on unions – make unions work right and America will be strong again.

I strongly disagree, I have been in business for 30 years and I look forward to bids that are in competition with union shops, because I can raise my price, and still get the job by 10 to 20%. Plus we deliver to the customer a better product at lower prices.
