He now has something they do not like and would like to end. To do so, will require them giving up something.


What if they call his bluff and we are stuck with much, much higher prices which a lot of Americans cannot afford? It’s always good to buy American but the cost is usually higher. We have to decide if we want to pay $7000 for an American made BBQ or $5000 for an identical product from China. As un-American as it might sound, I go for the $5000. My reason, beside saving money, is union workers command far too much wages over non-union. I think a better solution is to bust up the unions with right to work laws.

I could be wrong; I know nothing about economics other than keeping my family budget balanced and pay ZERO interest for credit.

It is a two way street. If affordable means we will gut our neighbor's jobs, we are in a downward spiral.

In any case, this story hasn't unfolded yet.

It is, when American's do not have a level playing field - as they have not.
