This country will be a better place if GM, Ford and Chrysler went under today. The loss of money for the UAW is the conservative movement’s gain.

We may be able to take out two cesspools if we work it right. Not only the UAW in Michigan, but the New York liberals sucking on the obsolete financial markets on Wall Street.
Even if Obama props them all up, they are doomed long term.
“This country will be a better place if GM, Ford and Chrysler went under today.”
Why?
“The loss of money for the UAW is the conservative movement’s gain.”
Again, I ask why, and how?
You presume that all UAW members vote in elections as directed by their union? Across all the varied businesses that recognize the UAW? (there’s lot’s of them in small biz) Should they all be closed too?
Close GM, close Ford, close em all.
then what... unemployment benefits...
Nationalize unemployment.
Yeah, that’ll make the country better.
I was unaware that cars were obsolete so we don’t need people who know how to build cars.I guess you are one of those people who believe in a service economy. We see how well that is working. You know not everyone who works for or coordinates with GM is a union member. Basically what you are calling for is to kill GM so you can kill the Union thus helping Republicans electorally-what a miserable idea. Especially after the GOP bailed out the banks. This was requested by a Republican president-remember?
The banks will use this money to give fat bonuses to its VIP’s and buy other banks. They will not lend money apparently nor seriously address the mortgage situation. Yet, an industry which asks for a loan for a pittance compared to the bank money is turned down. Millions will lose their jobs mostly in the Mid West. I promise you, the GOP will lose the Mid West in future presidential elections.
People will never forgive the GOP and will not vote for them. No Repub in my lifetime has won the White House without Ohio. So go ahead, filibuster, show those unions who’s boss- but beware the consequences-permanent minority status. I have been a life long Republican. I work for GM. I will never vote for a GOP candidate again if the auto industry goes under. Never mind about my job (bad enough), it would be a disaster for this country. I could never vote for a party that put an entire industry out of business with a motivation of pure spite.
Now you will have to excuse me. I must attend a memorial service. My 51 year old neighbor across the street hung himself in his garage several weeks ago. He had worked for Adelphi for years.
And other companies will simply hire to pick up the slack.
It’s no use preserving “jobs” that are not producing anything people want to buy. In that case, you are simply handing out welfare checks and calling it a “job.”
Pelosi’s proposed $25B for the B3 automakers is slated to have $12B go to pay UAW union benefits to retirees. IOW, to people who already DO NOT HAVE AUTO JOBS.
