Our laws and unions have gone too far...and we're paying the price. It's just not worth it, it's not cost effective to keep manufacturing here when it's so much cheaper/easier to do it overseas. Shipping is cheap these days.
The country is lost. Liberals/progressives caused it with their insane policies. Policies that WOULD work in a small group of like minded people with equal ability. But don't with a population of 350 million and half of them incapable of taking care of themselves.

The unions have lost most, if not all power, with the coming of the "RIGHT TO WORK STATES" .
I suggest if you really want to see what has happened to jobs in the United States you might get a copy of the book Glass House. It is the story about Anchor Hocking once the largest maker of glassware in the US and the town of Lancaster OH. The book not only looks at what happened to the company but also what happen to the town of Lancaster and its people.
I happened to be captive in a car for 4 days as I drove from Florida to Colorado so I listened to it as I drove.
