My suggestion is the US become
More autonomous. Close the borders. Impose tariffs on imports make outsourcing overseas less cost affective. Impose stiff taxes on imported oil and make it more profitable for oil companies to keep our oil here.
As far as Detroit goes?? So be it! No company can produce a
Product at a profit and support some of those old contracts. If they had re organized instead of taking bail outs they would have been able to re negotiate with the UAW and come to terms on contracts that would keep people working and enable the companies to turn a profit. Those UAW contracts no Company could make
It with. My FIL worked for GM in Framingham they shut down the plant he retired at 45 with full medical and retirement and pay for the next 20 years?
