It is not the wages it is the work rules the unions have gotten

I worked on a GE project in Schenectady in the 1970s

The pipe fitters were making a connection that had to be done with GE workers

four pipe fitters and one doing the welding.

GE is long gone form Schenectady and the city looks like Detroit

GE and Ford signed these contracts it there fault

The cost of labor is just another factor in what is a tyrannical federal government that makes it almost impossible to profit from building a car in the US.

A lot of the reason they move is less stupid red tape, union BS, constant mandates from on high, taxes, etc.

Get rid of all that and they’d be happy to manufacture here.

Before Steve Jobs died he once discussed why Apple made the IPhone in China. He said in the US he can’t move as fast as the market demands. When their early phones were having glass shatter issues even in a small drop they had to retool to change them. Easy in China but near impossible in America.

Let’s not all just jump on “evil corportations” for “shipping jobs overseas” without looking at all the evidence. Forcing them to come back is no different than Obama’s tyranny.

Ford should have moved to right to work state!!! However with all the NEW regulations coming from Obamas EPA labor was probably not the ONLY FACTOR!!! Obama HATES this country, he WANTS all of our businesses moved to 3rd world countries it’s his redistribution of our wealth!!!

Politico Article today: 'If this market stuff keeps up or if general economic malaise worsens it plays into the argument that everything traditional politicians are doing isn't working and we need something radically different,' said Jim Paulsen, chief investment strategist and economist at Wells Capital Management. 'It probably helps Trump the most because he can more vehemently argue that what's going on is Obama and the Democrats' fault.' Trump wasted no time grabbing onto the market chaos, which began last week with huge falls in the Chinese stock market and kept rolling on Monday with steep falls on Wall Street. 'As I have long stated, we are so tied in with China and Asia that their markets are now taking the U.S. market down. Get smart U.S.A.,' the real estate billionaire Tweeted. 'Markets are crashing — all caused by poor planning and allowing China and Asia to dictate the agenda. This could get very messy! Vote Trump.' (link) Donald Trump's timing is brilliant, and the landscape surrounding him is fortuitous. It's brilliant campaign strategy within a world that few ever get the experience to witness. This is great stuff. Can you imagine what will happen when President Trump is able to apply this level of intellectual acumen and strategy with the entire U.S.A.'s best interests at heart? http://theconservativetreehouse.com/

Ross Perot predicted this way back in 1992.

“Motivated by the labor union’s contract. How is Trump going to fix that? And would he?”

Trump supports unions.

Cars will just cost more.

It will be great.
