Another fallacy is this whole bit about labor being 10% of the total
cost per car.

That is total bull****.


I've been watching this. It's a creative way of accounting for costs. And
it's not *pay*. It's burdened labor rates, which determine cost.

If you listen to jerks like Olbermann, you'd think, (in fact he *said* this
the other night) that in order to obtain parity with Toyota, Honda, etc.,
the UAW workers would need a pay *increase*.

Then he goes on to inform everybody that the *real* UAW labor rate is about
28-30 something bucks per hour *when* you substract all the contractual
benefit costs. He's an idiot. He should have stayed with color
commentary of baseball games.
