with Dallasdude, Rlee, and Lemko is that they are the very few, defending the UAW that most people have no pity for. Their small percentage of defenders reflected in the above mentioned 3, is truly an inside look at public opinion. The masses don't feel sorry, or have much in common with the UAW mindset. They need to go away, so something better can spring up in it's place.

Replying to: dhamilton (Dec 13, 2008 6:49 am) That is exactly right. The UAW is not representing the Middle Class in America. It is representing a Union that believes its workers deserve to be paid when they are not producing. It is a Union that believes they are entitled to a certain standard of living even when the company is broke. There are a lot of good Unions and Union people. The UAW is not one of them. If you can believe Gettlefinger a non union Toyota worker makes more than a UAW worker. So why would the Toyota worker want to be enslaved by the UAW?

They will jump right into those jobs left vacant when the UAW contracts get voided. Then they will buy all the foreclosed homes in Detroit at pennies on the dollar and it will be the dawning of a new age in Michigan. They may even keep Buick around for your driving pleasure. Old Buicks are very popular with Latinos in my area.

Replying to: dallasdude1 (Dec 12, 2008 7:29 pm) Last week, Moody's Economy.com economist Mark Zandi suggested during one of the auto bailout hearings on Capitol Hill that the Big Three could need between $75 billion to $125 billion over the next two years if they are to survive. He predicted that even if the government approves the $34 billion loan package, the automakers would be back to Washington later in 2009 asking for additional help. That's because he thinks U.S. auto sales will remain weak well into 2010, due to problems in the economy and the bubble in auto sales from earlier in the decade. In his testimony, Zandi said he estimates the entire auto industry would have to shut down production for nearly a year to work off the excess cars and light trucks that were sold during the bubble years. $34B just a small start I know, you know better than Zandi.  Regards, OW
