“....that getting the automakers back on their feet means figuring out a way to turn around the slumping economy.”

How about “Drill, Drill, Drill”? More oil, cheaper gas, and GM makes a profit again.

[tcrlaf]

Bankruptcy for GM and Ford could be the best thing that could happen to America right now.

They can unload the immense dead weight they are carrying, get back into the business of building and designing cars IN AMERICA, and serve as an object lesson to those that supported Democrats in the face of thier own personal self-interest.

[razorback-bert]

The UAW is betting that they own Obama.

“These idiots are going to kill the golden goose.”

Not only did they kill the goose, they are now demanding that Golden Egg production remain the same!!

[italianquaker]

The UAW KNOWS that they own Obama

[magellan]

Sometimes I think we should just fence off Michigan and Ohio (give the U.P. to Wisconsin), dust off the 48-star flag, and speak of this no more.

[Bon mots]

Break the back of the UAW or let them all lose their jobs.

[Fred]

Time to get their lazy overpaid arses out and get retrained. Take a buy out from the unions and find a new career, and if it requires moving, get in line, they will not be the first to have to move for work.

Instead of the unions spending $400,000,000 to get a bunch of blood sucking DIMS elected, the money should have gone back to the union members. What a bunch of stupid crooks.

Methinks Gettelfinger just gave us the bird.

Full Pay to the Last Day was the slogan at Eastern Airlines. Worked out well for them too.

Easier for me to go out purchase a 30 year old car or truck etc , strip it, do the body work, new wiring harness,new glass , new crate engine and transmission , new paint and interior etc for under 15K that serves my needs and doesn’t cost me 50k.....

I don’t buy union, today or tomorrow until they abandon the socialist democratic sedition that is killing this nation.

[ChowChowFace]

I agree...bankruptcy for GM and Ford and renegotiating contracts is prerequisite for returning to a healthy and profitable capitalist society.

[softwarecreator]

Just how stupid can these people be

Unions are very liberal democrats, there is no limit to their ignorance.

[teletech]

Obama is the Art Fern of American presidents. (Got no money? We don’t care!)

[muawiyah]

BTW. Volkswagen, Subaru, Mazda, Hyundai and many other foreign car manufacturers DESIGN all of their cars in America.

Since when did American manufacturers find someplace in a foreign country where they could design cars?

Scramble for the money. Do what it takes to take. Divvy it up amongst the execs, hold a fire sale, then close up shop.

[EGPWS]

Well there you have it. The UAW would rather have a contract and no jobs then take a cut and have jobs. Something is really wrong with this thinking, add the fact that news is getting out about their pay and benefits they could lose the PR war really fast.

In other words the union dogma hasn't changed on 80 years.

So, let me elaborate on your statement engrpat, There you have it, the unions have gone to bed with politicians and now neither can afford the offspring created and both parents are pi$$ed with their self generated desperation.

Gotta keet that “Rubber Room” going.
