I hate to say this, but the Unions may have had a lot to do with why so many jobs have left us. We would not be able to afford the cameras, TVs, videos, appliances, etc if they were made here, not to mention the incredibly detailed scale models we all own. Unless huge taxes are levied on imports and the buying public is forced to psy more for the same product, I don't see the huge sucking sound stopping. Don't forget after the War, Japan was making things cheap. Now all those jobs are in China. On the other hand, why is it that American pharmaceuticals are selling the same drugs in Canada and the rest of the world cheaper than here. There is a real controversy here.
