Absolutely. The Dems know this auto-maker bailout is a joke and the public is against it. That’s why they are desperate to have the Republicans sign on to it in a lame duck sessions. It looks as if the Republicans have said “screw you” (as well they should have), so it’s back to the drawing board for the Dems. In the end, when the UAW says “jump” the Dems say “how high”, so this bailout will probably be rammed down our throats, although it will be politically damaging for them.

It could happen and if it does there will be more than PR for them to worry about if GM carries on in a business as usual mode. Their sales will suffer big time as there will be a consumer’s backlash fed up with having to support outrageous benefits and pay scales, not to mention the ridiculous work rules. There is no way in hell that they can justify the wages and benefits these workers make for the tasks that they perform, especially when you consider the pay scales of so many with advance degrees who can’t even find a job at wages far below those of GM workers.
I agree with everything you said except that it will be politically damaging to the Rats to attempt an auto bailout.
Nitwits will just remember that the guvmint tried to do something to help-—awwwww, Obama *cares.* And he *tried.*
For libs, it’s only intent, not results that matter.
