Globalization and the outsourcing of jobs from the United States over the past two to three decades is what has decimated the middle class, not one particular 4-8 year presidential term. Try looking at the bigger picture.
The world has been and will continue to chomp at the bit to manufacture and service for a fraction of what it costs to do so in the U.S.
U.S. consumers will not pay a premium for stuff manufactured/serviced in the U.S.
We want our cheap stuff and then blame government when manufacturing/service jobs continue to disappear.
Yeah, we'd be so much better off without those pesky labor laws and regulations.
No one said there was anything wrong with labor laws or regulations.
In FACT that's EXACTLY why Unions are no longer needed. They moved long ago away from protecting workers from hazards and have now moved into raping companies (and cities, states, and schools) into bankruptcy.
However, it must really suck to be you placing your own situation above that of the rest of America.
