“Unions forced many of our companies first to the South - and then overseas. In the short run the greedy little jerks got wages higher than workers around them who didn’t belong to unions. In the long run companies ran away from the bullies and took American jobs with them.”
Hmmm....
Could the solution be multi-pronged?
That is,
1. Import tariffs on goods from countries with “next-to-nothing wages”
2. Ban the export of entire American industries, AND
3. Ban all unions within America, forcing wage levels back into balance?
(Not that anyone is ever going to DO any of this....)
Just wonderin’....

We might be facing a major depression - tweaked, your ideas have merit. That said, we're probably the only two who feel that way...
