Replying to: dallasdude1 (Jan 11, 2009 9:20 pm) Again every thing you have posted is a smokescreen to avoid the issue of UAW running the Domestic auto industry into the toilet. And your lame arguments about all the bank bailouts were pushed by the Democrats not the conservative Republicans. The bailouts have done nothing to keep the country going. Just more graft to friends of the 110th Congress. The same bunch of losers that the UAW supports. Let them all rot in the same hole. |

Replying to: dallasdude1 (Jan 11, 2009 9:54 pm) Those states at the time were predominantly Democrat. So what is your point? They did not swing over to Republican until a true Conservative was elected in Ronald Reagan. Even JFK was not as left wing wacko as today's Democrats that have corrupted the Unions in this country and especially the UAW. |

Replying to: jimbres (Jan 11, 2009 1:55 pm) Your ignoring the price difference and comparing apples to oranges. Whats a 3 series BMW run? MSRP $36,300 Whats a Cobalt run? MSRP $15,660.00 Thats the plain Jane cheapoo too!

Replying to: bpeebles (Jan 11, 2009 2:57 pm) Perhaps you could explain to me the risks of taxpayers building stadiums/arenas for billionaires? All I see is welfare for the rich and little risk and unGodly rewards/ill gotten gains/profits. AIG is a prime example of a $400,000 spa orgy after the bail out. Where was the outrage? If you have two children or more? Do you send only one to college? You do it for one, you MUST do it for the other.

Replying to: gagrice (Jan 11, 2009 9:54 pm) Again the CEO in not a UAW represented employee. The CEO runs the company. Get over it. Deal with it. The AIG CEO ran that company into the toilet and was rewarded. Now GM is asking for a fraction of what AIG got. Again if you detest socialism. Send that entitlement/social security check back and don't use Medicare either. |

Replying to: gagrice (Jan 11, 2009 10:17 pm) McCain voted for it, Bush and Paulson pushed it. Its a republican bill. You can't be serious? Can you say VETO? WASHINGTON -- President George W. Bush signed into law an unprecedented $700 billion plan to rescue the U.S. financial system, one of the largest-ever government interventions in the nation's economy -- and almost certainly not the last. On Friday, 26 Republicans and 33 Democrats switched from no to yes. The compromise won wide support in the Senate Wednesday and passed the House on the second attempt on Friday by a vote of 263-171. President Bush signed the bill shortly thereafter.

Hello Everyone, Just saw the Hal Turner video on YouTube. He talks about the Amero, the supposed new American dollar, and that the present dollar will be devalued, that Canada, the US, and Mexico will be linked to a common currency the Amero Just do a search on YouTube for Hal Turner Amero, and tell me what you think and how this will affect the Autoworkers and working class of the US, Canada and Mexico if it comes to true. How believable is this?? Should I be concerned? I also saw Mr. Gerard President of the United Steel Workers Union speak on National TV. He did a great job. Are there any Union leaders in the know on the unification of North American currencies? Do you guys know if this is true? Because the main stream press is suppressing this. Pretty scary stuff considering the situation the US, Canada and Mexico are in economically right now. Hal Turner says the US dollar should calapse by February 2009. |

To throw in some sidetalk about the UAW, I heard a radio report early this morning about UAW picketing at the Detroit Auto Show (NAIAS). The report said they were complaining about mismanagement and something else causing the current problem...  I would give mismanagement the nod especially in respect to having given the overpaid in benefits to UAW workers too much future financial gain rather than paying for their current worth in the past. Yup, it was management's fault as long as we overlook UAW's part in the whole process. Instead of picketing for effective change of work rules and pay NOW, the UAW picketed about the past trying to rewrite history and absolve themselves of all responsibility. Yup, it was just the management NOT.
