They made their deals with the unions. Now let them live with it. Do
you think the unions would give up 1 cent to help the big three
automakers. No way. The stupid spineless ceos have let the unions
run rough shod over them for as long as I can remember. AND, Detroit
makes crap to boot.

I have been employed since I was 12. Paid my taxes on time. Always
have paid my bills and have paid my own way since I was 18. There are
millions of folks just like me. We have had two or three mortgages
in our lifetimes and have never missed a payment. Most of the same
people have saved for their future so they will not become a dredge on
society. I have been saving since I was a E4 in the Navy, making but
a few dollars every week just so I would not be a dredge on society.
Many of us have served our country faithfully. and some of us still
are. Why the hell should MY taxes, OUR taxes, go to bail out
ANYTHING? I should think that those good taxpayers who have
never defaulted on a loan, have never cheated anyone, have been
faithful to their mortgage payments and to their government deserve to
be "bailed out" a helluva lot more that the automakers, aig, or any of
the banks. Screw 'em if they can't keep up. Screw the unions, Barney
Frank, Chris Dodd, et al.

And before you open your yap, Ken, eff you too.

Dave you ol' pirate...

You are being just a little too hard on the unions - you exhibit the
behavior of one who always wanted a union but never had one...

I worked for the 'guvner' and had a union and am glad I did...to the point.
But I do agree that some glaring, obvious mistakes were made...non funded
pension plans, lack of market competition...and so forth

....but they only thing to blame is the love of mamon...or is in
mammon....anyhow, if you get it fresh at the farmers market it's not too
bad...
