Joe is typical of the union mentality: give me mine, everyone else can get screwed.
Protectionism makes for inefficient outmoded industries that cannot compete and demand more and more gov't guarantees to stay in business. This is not theory but fact. It is bad for everyone except the few union employees. And ultimately bad for them too once the gov't decides it's had enough leaching.
Guy, the Japanese have protectionism and stronger unions than we do. So do the Germans.
What they don't have are executives who make 8 figure salaries for failing.
That's a uniquely AMerican thing.
