Replying to: bpeebles (Jan 11, 2009 1:57 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 8:54 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 9:17 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.

Replying to: dallasdude1 (Jan 11, 2009 8:20 pm) AIG doesn’t break out its U.S. employment numbers, but it has 116,000 workers worldwide. Perhaps half of those are U.S. jobs. I don't know what this has to do with Cadillac, which was the topic of the post to which you're replying. Here's what I think you're trying to say: if I supported bailing out the banks & insurance companies, then I should support the auto industry bailout. Here's my reply: I never supported the bank/insurance bailout, so I am under no obligation to support the auto industry bailout. In my judgment, both bailouts are based on flawed thinking & both will do more harm than good. As you should know by now, we classical liberals just don't like bailouts. (Or maybe you're trying to say that bailing out AIG was the right thing to do because some AIG executives drive Cadillacs. Is that it? I guess so, because we were discussing Cadillac. Sometimes I can't figure out what you're trying to say, DD.) |

Replying to: dallasdude1 (Jan 11, 2009 8:20 pm) He actually made less than $2 million last year per the restructuring plan submitted. All those millions of stock options are worthless.
