I agree. Look, I dislike unions as much as the next guy - but a lot of folks are going to be homeless, either way this goes. That may be a necessary thing, but I take no joy in it.
I don't take joy in it. I don't think that resisting these cuts will help, though. They will just make it worse.
The much bigger question though is whether we're going to let the unions do the same thing to GM and Ford. So far, it looks like the answer is "Yes."
I doubt that most will be homeless. They will be forced to sell their cottages in northern Michigan, their boats and snowmobiles for sure, but homeless? I live in "cottage country" in Michigan. If they sell now, they will get top dollar for their cottages and hopefully be able to maintain the primary residences.
