Well!

There won't be any competing with you today. That was one hell of a
start.

Only comment's he'd get from me would me NEGATIVE

And I refuse to stand NEUTRAL.

Thus proving that you are, indeed, a neutron.

One of the first steps any company needs to insure it's long term

that the UAW and the Senate are not playing Russian Roulette, it is more
like "Chicken" in a auto, to see who will swerve.

Of course labor has to be part of any long term solution, but it's quite
interesting that Corker wanted to concentrate on labor's 10% and forget
about the other 90%. *Regardless, when this economy is in such perilous
condition, letting GM and Chrysler go out of business, is quite counter-
productive. *As I have said before, under normal circumstances, if the
economy was healthy, I would agree to let GM take it's chances with
bankruptcy.

As it stands, both GM and Chrysler, have hired Man, bankruptcy lawyers. I
don't think the next several years are going to be pretty.

The Republicans wanted the UAW to engage in substantial pay package
givebacks in either 2009 or 2010, and apparently factored in the costs s
of the total absorbed payroll, too, which includes the retirees. There's
really not much difference between the hourly rates of the current
represented employees and the exploited employees of ForeignAutoMakersSouth.

I wonder if the Repubs want the unionized workers to give up health care
benefits, too?- Hide quoted text -

Man, did you get a transcript of the union rep's news conference,

Speaking of competition, it looks like the UAW won last night. They get
to keep their high salaries. They won't have to accept the drivel given
to the employees at Toyota and Honda.

Of course, that's only for the next few weeks.

They must be Yale graduates also.
Well duh...

That's the dumbest F'n decision, I think I've seen in my life. McConnell
must like Russian Roulette. After already giving $350 billion to Wall
Street to keep the markets afloat, he's unwilling to spend $14 billion.
That's one month's spending in Iraq.

If my company was on the verge of bankruptcy would you give us a $14
billion bailout? If no, why not?

If I'm not mistaken, there will be a bloodbath on Wall Street today.
Republicans sure know how to instill confidence in the economy.

Wasn't the DOW up at the close today?

Harry, depressions aren't good for anybody.

It is the UAW that is unwilling to take a little pain for the good of
the country.

Of course not. But the Senate Republicans in true GOP scorched earth
policy, figure if they aren't in charge, they might as well go into
destroyer mode.

We learned well from the Democrat's thanks for the lesson.

George W. Bush to the rescue.
Who da thunk it?
BTW, though I said earlier I think Corker is sensible, I'm reserving
final judgement until more facts are available.
