If things were still made in the USA, e.g., tv's, to auto's, we couldn't afford them, why? Unions drove prices up, an assembly line bench worker at Boieng gets $18 per hour, plus benefits. Lawyers have driven prices up for us all. We love to sue, we love to get paid alot for nothing and we love health benefits, vacations and retirement. Go figure. I remember when the electronics were mostly moved off shore, most of us felt a relief, we could finally afford to buy those things. Now we have lost our textile mills, shoe, watch makers, etc. Thanks to unions, lawyers and lazy-want-a-lot workers.
