We do compete in the world maket, but not as manufacturers. That's gone with the wind and not so much a product of unions or greedy shareholders, but the proliferation of cheap technology and information access. India graduates 80,000 MBA's a year and in 2010 will be the largest English speaking country in the world. You can get a CPA there for $200 a month. Chinese software engineers will work for $5k a year, and you can make tennis shoes in Malaysia for .20 an hour.
