Arguable...the unions had to be broken first, they were KILLING the country back then.

No. Are unions a bad thing? Yes. But they weren't killing anything. Throwing away our industrial base was too high a price to pay.

That’s more than what I thought we’d agree on. But sorry, unions were right up there with pollution regulations and to a lesser extent, labor laws (although both pollution regulations and labor laws are needed as businesses won’t lift a finger in those areas, unless forced to - the problem is when they go way overboard)
