Thanks for the link. That program never ceases to blow me away ever since I heard about it.

My favorites are the people who have been being paid not to work for five or more years.

Any normal American would be embarrassed.

if I was lucky enough to have an employer who laid me off and still paid my salary, I would go back to school and get a degree while I was being paid to do nothing or I would look for another job.

But these slobs are content to laze around collecting paychecks they didn't earn while playing cards and watching TV.

As for Costilla and his colleagues, they are getting ready to go back to work at GM's new Delta Township plant. Costilla acknowledges that many of the union members are not looking forward to going back to work at the factory.

"The majority of us would rather stay here doing what we're doing," he said.

"You're not on the line, chasing a car."

Unions are just disgusting.
