Replying to: rockylee (Dec 16, 2008 5:41 pm) It's not so rock solid Rock. There are a number of foreclosed homes in my neighborhood. My neighbor just bought a bigger nicer house a little north of here and could not sell his old house for anywhere near what he owed. Just let it go into foreclosure. I went through it and it is a tear down unfortunately with all the work it needs. We did not have the extreme housing bubble here so prices did not skyrocket in the last 5 years but they still dropped. The house I sold 7 years ago is on the market for what I sold it. Too many houses sitting w/o buyers. Yes Oakland county has the highest income per family in the US (something like that) but many are cutting back which is driving this whole economy downwards. But you are right, there is still a lot of of money here. |

Replying to: dallasdude1 (Dec 16, 2008 6:45 pm) I would expect a lot of Unions to do the same. It is so difficult to keep paying retirees that are living to a much older age with diminishing membership in Unions. I don't know of any non government Union that is growing in numbers. Many cities and counties and states are also having a hard time paying those retirees pensions and health care benefits they worked for. Here is a good article on a city in CA that has filed bankruptcy to get out of Union contracts with city employees and retirees. http://www.bondbuyer.com/article.html?id=20080724HFB58CR6

Replying to: dallasdude1 (Dec 16, 2008 6:24 pm) Many people have liberated themselves from the Big Three after a negative ownership experience, and have no desire to give them any more money, whether it's directly by purchasing one of their products, or indirectly through an infusion of taxpayer dollars. dallasdude: This typical UAW worker is a far cry from the UWA worker which the corporate owned media outlets have created. Having talked to former plant supervisors from GM, and read articles and editorials written by both union members and plant supervisory personnel, I agree. They are worse.
