***Either way, I think American ports should be owned and run by America.***
As should ALL American Strategic Industries. Until the BILL COMES DUE...
Then we're whining about how much the Gov Spends...
Imagine the Nightmare of a Longshoreman's strike in the West idf they were GOVERNMENT-RUN?? 140K a year for 34 Avg work hours would seem like a pittance compared to what they would demand as Government employees!!!
The problem here is not what the government spends, it is how they are spending it. If you are telling me we can't afford American labor due to the unions, then the unions are the problem--not the money spent. Look, I'm still trying to get over the fact that we are contracting this business out to foreign countries.
