not to worry- a pallet of shovels for those new “shovel ready” jobs building sidewalks and roads- is probably enroute. Or maybe those workers would prefer to sign up to be daycare workers.

When Delphi closed around here, they canned everyone, dumped the pensions on taxpayers, and then split up $30 million dollars among the team that oversaw the closing.

They need to raise more taxes in Michigan on Delphi in order to support those workers.... in fact ALL corporations need to have higher taxes in Michigan in order to raise taxes to support the workers....

They should tax the fired workers also in order to fund art projects and public schools in Detroit...

  'bama is going to create millions of jobs painting bridges.  This will greatly benefit illegal aliens.  If he wants to create millions of high paying jobs, all he has to do is eliminate H1-B visas.

The Messiah will never be blamed for this. They blamed Hoover for everything that happened in a 50-year span, and more. The press will just keep blaming Bush, and they’ll get away with it.

Here’s an idea...everyone quit their jobs and let the government hire us. Then everyone will be happy.
