Auto Bailout Dead?

By Rob Einaudi

Editor-in-Chief

Sounds like the Senate Republican leader, Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, threw a big stinky fit about the bill this morning, which is gonna pretty much kill the deal. Thanks a lot, man. The New York Times

I am a democrat and have no use for unions. Let’s see them for what they are which is nothing more than legalized corruption. The fact still remains that the union was offered an out and they refused it. If that doesn’t epitomize everything that is wrong with unions then I don’t know what does. Please, please, please, do not equate unions with values in this country. Just because good ol’ boys came up with the idea doesn’t make them sacred. Times they are a changin’ and getting rid of unions would my first recommendation in order to bring costs of many, many goods and services down. I have to get off my soapbox now because this nonsense could keep me rattling on forever. ciao!

Republicans knew that the UAW would never make the concession of matching non-union wages, at least not until the current contract expired.
-
That’s the monkey wrench they intentionally threw in to SABOTAGE the deal.
-
Notice the relative ease the banks, a much more failed industry – and one infinitely much more expensive to bail out – they got their money though. Did Republicans say banking salaries (NOT CEO salaries) but banking WORKERS had to take pay cuts????
-
NO!
-
It’s hypocracy, it’s union busting, it’s republican scorched-earth policy and it’s pushing some of the last vestiges of American Manufacturing left to the brink of extinction.
-
Republicans apparently don’t care. They have their values screwed up, and those who agree with them are equally as screwed up.

thank you dave. its nice to hear someone speak some sense once in a while. i love how the sheeples tend to miss the obvious. not that a bailout is the solution to saving an inevitable failing business, BUT, just for the record, a deal was offered and as usual, the stupidity and greed of the UAW refused it. got that? want to keep your jobs? then work for a more reasonable rate! what do you think got the industry in the straits they are today?? wow, amazing to me how more people just don’t get it.

Apparently Mitch and other Republicans want to make as many PROBLEMS for the Democrats to fix as possible while they have a majority.
-
This effort by the Mitchy dude is INTENTIONAL SABOTAGE.
-
Unfortunately, it’s the well being of the United States that’s being sabotaged.
-
Unfortunately, people… we didn’t vote out enough Republicans in November.

You Americans just dont get it. Always looking at saving your ass today and screwing yourselves over tomorrow in the process. The bailout is NOT a good thing. Thankfully, there are some people out there who realize that. Jeez. You’re dragging us in Canada down with you idiots! Smarten the hell up!
