70. I think it's deeper than that

I think a lot of it has to do not with unions but rather companies moving off shore. It's all about maximizing profits. You should see the American industry that's moved right across the border to Reynosa, Mexico which is a border town. Personally I think companies penalized for doing this but that's just my 2¢.

SCOTUS is important and that worries me with Hillary. Do we want a judge who supports Citizens United or not? I don't and I believe Hillary would put one in place who does.
