RE: Where did all the real bulders go?
Blame the unions. Only in America can a union person whom has never held a job before, who has no skills at all, get full time on the job training and get paid over 20 dollars an hour.
This is true in the automotive, the aerospace and the various other manufacturing industries. So why wouldn't Boeing, Ford, GM etc, move business where it is less expensive to build something you are trying to sell?
For the past 25 years unions have become a pox in America. One fully controlled by the liberals with no care for anything except controlling exactly what they want to... which is every aspect of your and my life.
