They point out that if we don't give them the money all kinds of little businesses will go down and lots of little people will be out of work.<BR/>What we need are some intelligent rich people to buy up the stock in these companies which is at an all time low.

It's ridiculous for taxpayers (including poor people) to be forced to give money to vastly overpaid government employees. <BR/><BR/>That's more than a million every 2 years.<BR/><BR/>Imagine if you paid one of those college bosses $130,000 a year (which is very comfortable and elite) and used the $570,000 a year saved to give scholarships to poor students.<BR/><BR/>I saw Moore on Larry King. He made a lot of good points. But he was wrong when he mentioned that the UAW has "given back" anything. $70+ an hour jobs that are way above the market rate is not "giving back" a thing.<BR/><BR/>They are overpaid at from the bottom to the top at the Big 3.<BR/><BR/>"How can we compete, when South Korea imports 20 times the amount of cars we are allowed to export"<BR/><BR/>Perhaps by making better cars? Hyundai is now edging past the US carmakers in the quality area. Tariffs and import quotas are so NOT the way to go.dmarkshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07269773990064736457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211543031504081746.post-75998198932604343672008-12-04T19:27:00.000-08:002008-12-04T19:27:00.000-08:00You make a great comparison between the successes ...You make a great comparison between the successes of the schools and the failures of the auto companies.<BR/><BR/>Funny how people are all for "free markets" as long as they have the ability to control things and rig the game in their favor.<BR/><BR/>But they have ironclad contracts so it doesn't matter if they do a good job or not, does it?<BR/><BR/>I'm rambling.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211543031504081746.post-46328868976875911102008-12-04T15:47:00.000-08:002008-12-04T15:47:00.000-08:00Watching the big CEO's in front of the Congression...Watching the big CEO's in front of the Congressional committee today (for hours), I was still pissed. Basically, the point from the committee seems to be there will NOT be enough votes to bail them out. I say file bankruptcy like the rest of the damn country. If we end up with only one automobile manufacturer - fine. As times pick up, more will get into the competitive market. How can we compete, when South Korea impolrts 20 times the amount of cars we are allowed to export. Fukkers all need to get real. Dressing down, by arriving in cars this time is NOT enough for me.themomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05372778365091908638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5211543031504081746.post-47189655208191973852008-12-04T13:50:00.000-08:002008-12-04T13:50:00.000-08:00They'll gladly take a $1 salary, but did they also...They'll gladly take a $1 salary, but did they also offer to give up bonuses too?
