Frankly, I don't give a damn about GM. During normal times, I'd say let
them go under, but in these times, I think the risk of letting them fail

have already spent on Wall Street, and only a couple of months of the
spending we've been doing in Iraq for years.
I understand and I don't think it's funny at all - it is very serious.
However, I've been through this - I'm, and you, are old enough to
remember '56 which was as bad if not worse than now. We all survived,
our father's got new jobs and life went on.
Too bad we've lost more than a million jobs in the last year. But I am
sure there are jobs aplenty for everyone, including the aging GM workforce.
Probably are - at Toyota so they can build cars for guys like you who
say one thing and do another.
You now, being a big time Union backer and flack..er..writer/editor,
I'm surprized that you haven't have your tires slashed and your
windows broken when you visit all these auto plants and Union job
sites you keep talking about.
Don't your fellow Unionists support the UAW? Or do they all drive
Toyotas?
