Jarhead,

Of course if the Congress and Senate did as you stated then this country would not be in such a mess as it is today.
Unfortunately, 99% of those who are there are only interested in what the “Power and Prestige” can bring to them during and after their stay in ‘Office’.
It’s also about how much they can get in the way of ‘Money’ and ‘Benefits’ they can cram into their pockets.

And they call us greedy.

Unfortunately you are right. The Government is afraid that if they don’t do anything then they will loose office. They need to quit thinking of themselves and think of what is best for the country.

Jarhead I agree with you but the problem is nothing is going to change… There are two ways to approach this: 1) You can worry yourself sick about the 50 billion congress is going to give the UAW. Or 2) You can not worry about thew 50 billion that congress is going to give the UAW. Welcome to socialism… our government now guarantees that companies will succeed. It doesn’t matter if they haven’t produced a car worth buying in 20 years…

Thank-You for speaking my very thoughts.
Everyday that I hear more about the ‘bail-out’ of the UAW & the ‘big 3′, I get madder and madder.

“IF” the Taxpayers bail-out these corporations and union then the contracts with the unions are cancelled completely. Wages are brought more into what the normal wages for these jobs are all across the country and close to what the Non-union car companies are paying their workers.

Health Care and Pensions Plans are all re-worked.

The Unions have milked the cash-cow until it is well past the dry stages and now should reap what they have sowed.

And again, I say, Amen! I would rather my tax money went to provide better VA benefits! I resent the fact that careful home owners and those who pay their debt are actually being punished for being responsible (or at least that’s what it feels like).

Amen to that, brother. The fed is not supposed to be backup insurance for idiotic business decisions. Companies that have crappy leadership need to fail – or suffer – in order to lead to the changes that are needed to remain strong. It seems that a change in administration will offer changes in some ways, but not the economic reform that we so desperately need.
