Oh, and I’m just THRILLED about those guys who’ll get $115,000 of MY MONEY if they agree to retire...probably in their early 50’s.

Workers with more than 20 years can get $115,000 in cash and $25,000 vehicle voucher to quit early
This is cruel and unusual.

Which will you prefer, A Mexican built Ford or a transplant? I feel the same way, and I’d like to know what others think the pros and cons of either would be.

They don’t need erectile dysfunction medication. After all, they are screwing about 108 million taxpayers without it.

Why don’t you try taking their place on the assembly line ?
Maybe then you’d have something to be thrilled about.
To: LiberConservative
Including Ford? Just curious.

Yes, last time I checked. You can go to Edmunds.com, select a new vehicle, select the trim, and then follow the links to specs to see where any car is built.

Don’t penalize Ford, though. Remember, Ford told Zer0 to pound sand re: a bailout.

From the Heritage Foundation:
Who ya goin' to believe...The Huffington Post or the Heritage Foundation?
I say that, because as I was looking for info, I came across this post over at the Huffington Post (yes, I have decontaminated my computer...) Check this out:
(By some guy called Trooamerican)
Dont you realize you are purposely lying about American families' lives and retirements for a hate based political agenda that hasnt an ounce of truth or decency to it?
These people ARE the middle class in America and they are shrinking due to you and people like you spreading deceit for the only purpose to harm other american families, their children, their communities. You spread a republican agenda of AntiChrist-Level profiteering for the Executive class, while Slapping down the American worker with the only desire to force them to work for minimum wage and no benefits.
The previous highest ever wages for a UAW worker with decades on the job was $29.00/hr which translates to $58k As of concessions made in 2007 on their own with no "Lending crisis" pushing sales down, all new workers start at a lowly $10/hr. Benefits were cut, retirements were cut, pay was cut, jobs lost, etc.
Lie all you want, it doesnt change the fact that these people make the second biggest purchase in most people's lives behind a house, and deserve a good pay, not crappy pay like walMart.
And for those that think sending the domestics down the drain is funny, Chrysler the smallest of the 3 has over 140,000 employees at its dealer network nationwide that will be out of jobs in your communities, and im sure that + suppliers, the autoworkers themselves and supported small businesses losing jobs will just help our economy so nicely.
I post this just in case some of us may forget how completely delusional liberals are.
