Just look to the Semi - Conductor market for more proof on that one.

Sanctions don't really do anything you know; when there's a will to make money, there is ALWAYS a way. It doesn't help when American companies have these unions who are demanding sky-high wages, and won't back down. No wonder a lot of American products costs so much; they have to provide the money for those wages. I for one don't believe we no longer need unions. Between federal laws and OSHA, all of the original concerns 100 years ago that forced unions to be created no longer exist. I believe unions are now just an extenion of organized crime, and only exist now to finance the mob. We get rid of the unions, maybe increase our minimum wage rate by a $1.00 or so, and maybe American prices will come down so they can be competitive to foreign products.
