Then factor in jobs created from Mechanics to everything from people working and yet people can not find a decent paying job unless it is union or they get a degree in liberal arts major...
Well that is how the left think Unions are needed today...
The left (like Warren) are ignorant of our past. Unions were good at one time, but like anything else that gets too big, they also got too greedy.
I would love for her to explain the dynamics of her plot. How is government going to force unions into industry? Even if they could, and industry was forced to overpay labor, who would buy their products? Certainly not the American consumer. Certainly not foreign consumers. Who is going to buy all this union made stuff?
Maybe she has a plan to force us to buy American made goods, like DumBama forced us to buy healthcare insurance. How did that work out?
Funny this from the same people who argue that Trump is going to bring jobs back from China.
Seems you think people are then going to pay higher prices gladly?
Companies do whatever is cost effective.
First rule of thumb is to make products closer to your customers. Not only does that decrease your shipping costs, but you can provide the product much quicker which makes the customer happy.
Next is overseas transportation costs. Even if you get cheaper labor overseas, the transportation costs outweigh that, so you keep jobs in the US.
When unions, costly regulations, taxes, make it cheaper to produce overseas with the transportation costs, that's when it's time to move, and that's what companies did.
Now that Trump reduced regulations, reduced taxes, and made the US generally business friendly, companies in China who are harmed by tariffs may come back to the US eventually. If not, they will choose another cheap labor country like India, Brazil, Vietnam. But again, if the transportation costs are too much, they will move back to the US.
This trade war is long from over, so many companies are simply monitoring the unfolding events before making a final decision. Between that and the next election, those will be the deal makers or breakers. If Democrats take leadership again, that means higher taxes for businesses, and China returns as our trading partners taking full advantage of us. It makes no sense to move all your operations when it's still cheaper to produce in China.
Ray, that is just more bullshit.
Explain for all us the outright failure of the government polices your seem to mention by using the state of Kansas. You k now the test tube of small government pro-business policies.
I don't know much about Kansas as I don't live there. What government policies do you speak of?
