Automakers fail - unions to blame

The unions are doing it again - killing an American industry.

The bailout has failed because the unions are refusing to give wage concessions. They have no one to blame but themselves!

The Republicans in the Senate are protecting the American taxpayer by making the bailout safer for us, but the unions are messing it up. All they need to do is give back some of the ridiculous wages they make to save their jobs, but for some reason they think that NO pay is better than reduced pay.

Are they really that stupid? Have they never paid attention to the industries that have been decimated and exported by stubborn, stupid unions? If they don't give something, they will lose everything, because the automakers will declare bankruptcy - and this will allow their contracts to be voided. Is there one brain, collectively, among them?

Do they care anything about the millions of people that will also be negatively affected by their greed? Is their pride more important than being responsible and caring for their families and communities?

Kudos to the Republican Senators who are standing up to these greedy idiots, in favor of the American taxpayer.

Kudos to Ford, too. Check out this video of an efficient manufacturing plant in Brazil: http://info.detnews.com/video/index.cfm?id=1189
Like the video says, Ford would love to build one here in the US, but the morons of the UAW won't allow it. Keep working to kill the industry in the US, you dumbasses.

Update, 12.26.08: Just how corrupt and morally deficient is the UAW? How about the fact that they own a golf course in MI that has lost $23 million over the last five years? (http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,472304,00.html)

Talk about screwing the membership! If I was stupid enough to be in that union, I'd be pissed! How much better could the union serve the membership with $23 million over five years?

This puts the UAW on the same level as AIG - taking taxpayer money (in the auto bail-out) and squandering money in arrogant, wasteful ways...

Hey UAW - is it your goal to totally screw this country and the people???
