Ed, everyone tells me that the unions killed the manufacturing jobs in the United States and that is why the companies left. Can the same thing be said about state, county and government unions? Do you think they will drive these state workers out of their jobs? In 10 years we will see Pakistanis, Indians and Chinese doing these jobs for half price and no benefits.

Outsource

The state will never be that efficient on its own. But it might outsource more and more to companies that will do exactly as you describe. —Ed. Note
