Mark Steyn hits another home run with all the issues of the day.

For every GM worker making a car, ten are not making a car but are getting health care benefits. Unbelievable....

[RightOnline]

He’s spot-on, of course.............as usual.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

We’re also in the fast lane to Babylon...

Who bails out the bailouts?

[Popman]

"Drive the USA in your Chevrolet!" sang Dinah. "America's the greatest land of all!" America had road movies. With car chases. Thelma and Louise drove their vehicle off the cliff and, unlike the Old Three, they didn't demand American taxpayers come along for the ride.

LOL. Gotta love Steyn

[Doohickey]

Hopey Changemas

Perfect.

[ladyjane]

That’s where we’re all heading - one worker for every ten person on the dole.

[dinodino]

Yep. Both UAW management and rank-and-file should be ashamed of themselves. In a just world they would all be unemployed.

[Girlene]

General Motors, like the other two geezers of the Old Three, is a vast retirement home with a small money-losing auto subsidiary. - - Absolutely true. Legacy costs are destroying GM.

Ah, California. The Golden State! To a penniless immigrant named Arnold Schwarzenegger, it was a land of plenty. Now Arnold is an immigrant of plenty in a penniless land. What's the motto on the license plates? "Ah'll be back …for more of your money!" In California you don't have to be an orange to have your pips squeezed. The Terminator makes Gray Davis look like Calvin Coolidge. Care to terminate a government program, Governor? Hey, great idea! We'll hire 200 people to do an impact study on terminating the Department of Impact Study Regulation and get back to you in a decade. And when Gov. Girlyman has run out of state taxpayers to fleece for his ever-more-bloated bureaucracy, he'll go to Washington to plead for a federal bailout of Cantaffordya.

Hilarious. Too bad it's true.

30 years ago I would listen to a Jackson Browne album whenever I wanted to feel really bad.

These Days I just read Mark Steyn.

I wish he wasn’t so damn right.

Mark Steyn is sounding more and more like Ann Coulter. I suppose that, once the reality of modern USA is seen through the fog of liberalism, such sarcasm is the only way to describe it. Seriously, how can one depict our national suicide in an other way?

Well said, Mr. Steyn.

[realdifferent1]

Unbelievable....

No it is not. Everyone here bitches about the UAW, but it take two parties to make a contract.

The UAW is not the primary cause of the automakers problems, it's the idiots that manage the automakers that are to blame. They kept caving in to every stupid-assed demand made upon them.

[Sender]

"And on that cheery note let me wish you a very Hopey Changemas."

Hopey Changemas, Mark Steyn, and a Hopey New Deal!

"Ah, California. The Golden State! To a penniless immigrant named Arnold Schwarzenegger, it was a land of plenty. Now Arnold is an immigrant of plenty in a penniless land. What's the motto on the license plates? "Ah'll be back …for more of your money!"

For Steyn, this is just a short quip, but it's says more than the entire essays of some other columnists.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

“Cantaffordya”

Classic Steyn. Thanks for posting.

[Mr Ramsbotham]

For every GM worker making a car, ten are not making a car but are getting health care benefits.

Social Security in miniature.

[samtheman]

Steyn just gets better all the time. What a genius writer.

[BobS]

"The UAW is AARP in an Edsel"

Mark Steyn should sub for Rush when he gets sick. Rush has a habit of having a whole bunch of people at his place for eating and drinking bashes. Of course he will get sick along with others. That's how viruses spread around. I wonder if Ann Coulter got sick too? She goes to his bashes also.

Nobody says it better than the great Mark Steyn.

But Mark Steyn even outdid himself in this one!

[irv]

General Motors now has a market valuation about a third of Bed, Bath & Beyond, and no one says your Swash 700 Elongated Biscuit Toilet Seat Bidet is too big to fail.

Steyn misses the point. This is proof of how much good unionization does for a company. It makes you more important than mere size. It forces the government to take care of you and isn't that what America is all about?

(Yes, that's intense sarcasm)
