Yeah, because that knife they shoved and twisted into the taxpayers back (Government Motors) definitely runs DEEP!

Don't forget to thank the UAW, since the bailout was basically a thank you gift for their substantial support in the '08 election.

Anyone remember the show Arliss..."The only sure thing in Detroit is that someone's gonna get shot!"

Ah the life of a US business, run a business the wrong way and the government will bail you out. Didnt matter that Obama was in power at the time, it would of happened just the same no matter who was running the show.

Now GM realizes the US is a dying market and China is becoming the biggest market so they are going where the money is.

Either that or the govenment is using GM to help offset the billions they borrowed from China.

Same thing happenes here where I live, our govenrment gives money to the automakers to set up shop here then they stay for the minimum time they need to and head somewhere cheaper.

Pensions Pensions Pensions.... Greed is killing us as a country. Everyone wants more. That union shit didn't fly here in MS when they tried coming down in the early 2000's and again in 2006 and now again in 2012. The auto companies (Nissan and Toyota) shot that down quick. They tried to boost membership in 2006 and all the new employees who held out for better money (1100 and some change) got canned when they didn't show up for work. Companies aren't gonna take that bs anymore. The economy is in the shitter and they want people who WANT to work and not lifeless no working bodies who give the others a black eye. It is what it is.... but $70.00 to turn a bolt installing seats in a Corvette is a fuckin joke seriously. Then they get paid the highest 3 years of salary averaged together for the rest of their lives post retirement. There is a guy (city official) in California getting nearly 500k a year in pensions because he did the job of 4 people when he was working. What a joke. Thanks Federal Government. Mark this!!!! If Obama is reelected, we are done for..... Economy will go back to the days post 2006-7 when it was bad. Granted it is still bad but it is better than it was and starting to come around. If we had a half decent guy running, he wouldn't stand a chance. I am tired of hoping..... Hope in one hand and shit in the other, which one fills up faster? Exactly

Proud local 33 sheet metal worker here and I hate Obama and Romney. I will not vote for this first time since I turned 18. What's killing this country is lobbyist, speculators, doctors, lawyers, and insurance companies. Far from the auto workers and construction workers

Thank you!!!!!!!! Union workers are not the problem with this country. Union building trades workers are the best trained and best skilled that there are. For those of you who want to blame the unions, remember, the employers agreed to the contracts.

This country is screwed no matter who becomes president.
The national dept is a run away credit line that's unfortunately going to bite our generation in the ASS..
God bless the USA....

Bill Clinton had that under control......Then Bush ruined it all and Obama continued it..........

I said Greed not Unions were killing us. I said unions have a part in it. It's more than just unions and I am for fair wages and development of the workforce but it's getting out of hand!

I'm a "speculator". How exactly am I "killing this country"? People like me provide liquidity in markets where there otherwise wouldn't be, which often reduces prices for consumers. People like me invest in risky ventures & provide capital to businesses that otherwise wouldn't exist, which creates jobs that otherwise wouldn't exist. I chose a profession where I have more earning potential(and risk) instead of chosing a job with a steady paycheck & a benefits package. Am I doing anything unethical to make my living? ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!

I'm not gonna go on a long rant about the problems with unions. There are lots of good ones that are unfairly lumped in with the likes of the SEIU, UAW & AFLCIO. Also, I'm also sure there are lots of good people who are members of the three I just listed. My issue is with their thug leadership.

ÔÇ£We're trying to use the power of persuasion. And if that doesn't work we're going to use the persuasion of power.ÔÇØ...Andy Stern - SEIU

ÔÇ£We took names. We watched how they voted. We know where they live.ÔÇ£...Andy Stern - SEIU

"We know that the free market is nonsense...We kind of agree with Mao that political power comes largely from the barrel of a gun."
Ron Bloom - Obama's "Manufacturing Czar"

Do these sound like the words of rational people?

We could easily denegrate into union/non-union here. I, personally, have a bad, lingering taste from unions but I understand what they did to get the miners out of the death traps, etc.. I DO see it as treasonous to buy a Chevy product in light of what we see here. What would be so bad about buying a Ford and letting Chevy rot? Buy a Toyota, for shitsakes, if you don't like Ford... BMW, Land Rover, Whatever and make a statement! I saw my first Volt in Anchorage the day before yesterday, BTW - ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH A TOW TRUCK BACKING UP TO IT.
Oh, and not voting in the next election is the same as voting for Obama. Good grief, what is so bad about Romney? That he's almost as left as Obama? Good God, the man has business experience, at least. We can get a real conservative to bring back our constitution and greatness when Marco Rubio, Bobby Jindle, Rand Paul, etc., mature. We have a future - we just have to work for it and play smartly.
The local elections will be even more important than the presidential election. Vote to STOP BRINGING SHIT HOME FROM WASHINGTON - We can't afford it as a country.My local Senator, Lisa Murkowski, said herself, "We need to tighten our belts and stop bringing stuff home (But I will make sure Alaskans will get their share!)" - We have to stop these scoundrels from buying votes - throw them out on their heads! Worst example I can currently think of is the Representative Corrine Brown, Florida 3rd district. This woman should not have "gradgiated" high school or however she says it. She should be cleaning floors in a hotel with THAT mind... yet they keep voting her in because she brings shit home by making deals with other reresentatives. The system that allows this is a mess but with enough work, we can fix it. Even in the Florida 3rd district, we can fix it.

Yep, I agree.
