And just imagine - Obama wonders why his policies have not created jobs. More Unions. More regulations. More lawyers. Higher energy prices. Higher taxes. And then he wonders where the jobs are? The guy must be delusional.

Coming from Pittsburgh (Go Steelers!) I saw first hand how unions have participated in the destruction of the industrial base. Later working in NYC where unionization was required, I saw how prices for work skyrocketed (to the detriment of the taxpayers) and jobs took way longer than they should have Story just yesterday on Fox about Boeing's moving a production line to South Carolina. The thrust of the story was the competition was between non-union South Carolina and unionized Washington State. Not a big surprise Boeing would choose the location with the lower labor costs.
