Here's a quoted passage from the article: "If the plan were to offer no strong guarantees against layoffs it would likely draw fire from unions. But Obama advisers have been persuaded that the impact on current workers and retirees would be staggering if the companies went into bankruptcy." Here's what I don't understand. To the best of my knowledge, only 12 percent of the total American workforce is Union. Obviously the number of union auto workers is a much smaller percentage. So, Obama thinks that the taxpayers should cough up $50B to save the jobs of a relatively small percentage of the workforce? What about the millions of people working in non-union small businesses? They are being affected by the economic slowdown as much as the auto industry's union workers. Are they going to get a dedicated and specific bailout as well to keep the companies they work for in business? Those unfortunate enough to get laid off due to work slow downs typically apply for unemployment benefits and try to find a new job. Why do the employees of GM, Ford and Chrysler deserve more consideration? Is this part of the "share the wealth" plan? Eisboch Whoooooooosh. Yes, it Whoooooooosh right over you.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - No it didn't, he just won't address facts or debate in an intellectually honest manner.. You know that.. So do those who attempt a rational debate with him. But, they persist in doing so. Maybe it's just for the laughs at his stupidity. I hope so. -- Johnny... when will you get it through your thick head that not all posters are members of your Drone Army. Some like to think for themselves. It takes all kinds. Some folks get hitched in behind a rabid lead dog. Follow his lead and sniff his gas. Know anyone like that, Donnie? Hee hee...looks like I flushed out a couple of them dar Drone Army irregulars. So now you're trolling? Do you think *anyone* believes that? This should be a lesson for you - STFU. |
