Thanks for the comeback info. Everything was happening at the exact same time. The USA was fine but the rest of the world went on “welfare” at USA expense. It was CLEAR to me what was going on. Export jobs to foreigners that stayed home, and invite foreigners here at the same time.
Import people, export jobs, HUH?? Also the foreigners that left home, ALSO help their home country by moving away, freeing up homes and jobs for the people that stayed behind. Off loaded excess population to the USA. We were taught to have less kids. The foreigners like to have LOTSA a kids. So we unwittingly made room for them.
But I gotta tell you there is no such thing as “unions too greedy”. That phrase gov’t media/business propaganda. No one should ever repeat that. People raise prices or wages to keep up with THEIR higher costs.
Or they raise prices because DEMAND is too strong. The function of price is to determine the allocation of scares goods. Reserving the goods or directing the good to the most practical or needed place.
