Replying to: steve_ (Jan 03, 2009 10:57 am) But it's not all bad news. Those employees will each receive about 360 bucks a week in unemployment from the state, in addition to sub-pay provided by GM and the UAW. Put those together and workers should get about 70% of their take home pay. Not too bad for sitting at home. I lost my jobs 3X in 5 years during poor economies when the companies I worked for couldn't make a go of it......I didn't get a bailout. The companies I worked for were incompetent and deserved to close down - a bailout wouldn't have helped them. |

At the taxpayers expense??? Why does Bush deserve this?? He is already a wealthy man. Why does any politician deserve money from tax payers after they serve??? I mean yes many CEO's in Detroit and in other industries are making more money than they are worth and it is driving America into the ground. But what about the Golden Parachutes? What about pensions? What about the fact that most of the US polticians are millionares and put their money in foreign banks so that they can evade paying taxes????
