I realize some rural areas do not have access to doctors and medical facilities. But wouldn’t any metro area with 100,000 more people have good medical facilities ?

We are the world’s largest consumers because we have the largest economy. We used to be industrial superpower. We are still a technological superpower. US Dollar is the reserve currency of the world. It helps we can borrow indiscriminately to finance our consumption. Upto a degree our military might helps us get foreigners to finance this consumption. Not competing in the world market will accelerate our demise.

You are not paying “American prices” for lot of manufactured goods – clothing, shoes, consumer electronics, computers, some foodstuffs. Hint – these sectors have no unions. Most of the selling price of apparel goes to real estate costs for these malls, non-unionized retail worker(hourly wage – $8-10) and unionized port worker (some of whom make $100,000+ for operating forklifts). The third world worker makes squat.

A lot of expensive stuff for families has these items – taxes, healthcare, education, housing. They have a lot of unions and licensed people to pay for. A lot of Workers in these sectors are overpaid. No one is suggesting that these workers work for third world wages. But the current pay/benefit structure is unsustainable. Is it too hard to comprehend ?

i agree for some private sector workers the public sector unions improves pay/working conditions.

union organizers have targetted low to mid-range skilled workforces in infrastructure, government. they have little luck in any competitive industry.

unions have zero luck with fast food, restaurant workers. Tell me how much is McDonald’s worker going to make if he/she is unionized. please pick a hourly wage.

I agree that the auto industry’s management is lot to be desired. they agreed to pay the unions benefits that are not sustainable. Ever wonder why big three invested more in SUVs over compact cars ?
Which smart management graduate would want to work for the auto industry ? Would you ?

Unions delay the inevitable when they demand unsustainable benefits. I have seen it with the airline pilots and auto workers. You will see it with rest of the auto workers and government workers tomorrow.
