zzy-izzy. I make more then "ANY" UAW Menber. I said I had a UAW card, I don''t'' and would not work for the UAW. I would have to take a pay cut.

"Auto Bailout Now A Must, Says White House"

Really?

Consider the other White House "musts":

We must invade Iraq to remove WMDs and prevent a mushroom cloud over America
We must invade Afghanistan to get Osama
We must give tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires to ensure a robust economy
We must have a $700 Billion TARP Bailout or we''ll all die

Old school: Crying "Wolf" -- New School: Crying "Bailout"

When will "we" learn from these "must" blunders?

We didn''t have to send factories to Mexico to lose jobs to workers there ...they all just came over here, a shining example of how good homeland security has protected our border.

to robaldrich4, just where does the middle class sit dollar wise in your eyes?What is the bottom and what is the top? and your wage amounts for the auto workers includes benefits so that is not a good number for wages.they don''t actually make 70 an hour.Waste is when you pay an exec. 5 million a year that figures out to about 2400 an hour is that a reasonable wage compared to 30?

[zzy-izzy]

hitoyou11 why are you not working and making the big bucks.

[kevsan1]

hitoyou11, you may be a lazy UAW card holder, but I know many who are not and many more people, who are not UAW members, will be affected by this. I know several people personally who have been let go this year (two within the last week) because business is way down and it is affected by the health of the auto industry. Find somebody near you to smack some sense into you!

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." Sam Adams

Peace, commerce and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none.

*** Cheney was questioned on ABC about whether the fact that two thirds of Americans were opposed to the Iraq War had any influence on decision-making, he basically said that the American people get to make their input every four years and after that they can be ignored.

As the economist Dr. Stuart Crane was fond of saying, Things in the monetary world don%u2019t just happen to happen. They happen because they were planned to happen.

It is surely time for men to think for themselves, and to throw off the authority of names so artificially magnified.

Government is not reason; it is not eloquent; it is force. Like fire, it is a dangerous servant and a fearful master... George Washington

Looks like the university professor went into the wrong field and let him take the three months of he has and get out in the heat in the summer and sweat his a$$ off and make some money like the people that work for a living.

[fxstb00]

this looks like the republican senators trying to crush the uaw. why doesn''t the senators step up and slash their salaries and their unreal lifetime health care and full pay pension? who else in this country, paid by us the taxpayer, gets full pay for life as a pension, and the lifetime full healthcare as our employees, the congress?then, when it starts at the top let them ask the rest of us to take steep cuts.
and about the "junk the uaw makes", show me a 1955 toyota, nissan, mazda, or any asian car still on the road anywhere in the world. the american cars and trucks are just as good if not better than the asian cars today. their customers have been brainwashed.
