they are going broke because of the unions and paying pensions that are so far out of line they are not even funny. I kid you not, I know painters that work for the state of ca, that make 80k year, medical with co pays of $5, and will get 100% after 25 years.... oh yeah the quota is so low there is not a single member of this form that I could not teach them how to do and have then do it in less then 1 hours... and they get a day to do it. hell when I was painting the golden gate I was making 160k. I just could not handle the 4 hour each way drive.
