Congratulations to the lefties - you've managed to do to this country
what the Communists never could.

I think they are scared ****less of the "UAW bubble" popping and
crushing what is left of the economies of several midwest states.
If the UAW doesn't make concessions those plants will get packed up
and moved to a right to work state ... or offshore.
It sounds like they want the tax payer to make up the difference.

I thought Obama intimated that last night when he said the government
would cover their pensions and medical care.

It is a liberal way, promise a lot and appologize later.

People will change their minds when either they get the tax bill, or someone
puts a sign on the US that says "The whole country is bankrupt, investing
here is a waste of good cash!".
