Contrary to popular belief and talk of conservative talk-show hosts, all being fair and balanced, you could leave all those foreign cars at the port for the next ten years with heavy tariffs until we have a Detroit back on its feet.
We probably wouldn’t be in debt to China and Asia as a whole if we had a Congress that stopped the export of our jobs, factories and products production.
We wouldn’t have our standard of living if it were not for the Unions. Without them, it would just be the rich and the peasants.
So, now we are paying for outsourcing with unemployment. We are paying for those who don’t want to earn it. We now have jeopardized our health industry with overhaul mentality than repairs and modification. The worst part is the congressional and senatorial buy-outs. What ever we would have saved was lost to Senator vote buying.
We will pay until it is broke.
Broke is when...I think we are already.
Most Sincerely,
Paul Pierett
Also, Harley got a protective tariff in the 80s, and look where they are now - hurting, with uncompetitive product that they can’t sell in the US due to the economy and can’t sell elsewhere because nobody wants it.
