So, you want a bailout from other taxpayers to save your own butt. Maybe you should spend more time taking care of GM's problems instead of posting on a message board about how great the UAW is.
I think the UAW members are a bunch of selfish thugs who don't want anything to change. That is life. Jobs come and jobs go and life goes on for most people. We don't expect for someone else to save a job for us. We move on and find another job and stop complaining about it. Why should it be any different for GM/UAW?!
I may or may not lose my job with any loan from the government. There will job losses either way. I will get another job. However, America will not get another auto industry. This is what’s at stake as far as I am concerned. I don’t want to lose my job-who would? But, I don’t want to see this country destroyed.
We can not remain and economic or military power if we build nothing. Selling hamburgers to one another and making bad loans in order to create wealth has bankrupted this country. We need to save the auto sector, reform trade and bring back American manufacturing in a big way. If we don’t, we will see America continue to decline. The greatest generation faced their challenges and made this country stronger. What will our legacy be? Are we to hand over a dependent, pathetic country to our children and our grandchildren?
