Dems fail to protect UAW
The big vote in the Senate to hand over cash to Automakers for bailout fails.
The Republicans threw a wrench in the works by asking the UAW "United Auto Workers" to sign off on pay concessions before the negotiations take place which , of course everyone knew they wouldn't - who would ?
But that was done by design, the Rebublicans knew the UAW would never sign off before the negotiations even take place.
The UAW is upset that the US Government won't subsidise,"bail out" the Auto Makers like the European Governments do.
They're also upset that the US subsidises Foreign car makers here, which is done by the way, to bring jobs for American Workers which apparently the US companies haven't been able to because they are losing market share by being outsold. Apparently because they make cars the majority of US citizens either don't want or can't afford !
As the dinosaur mentality prevents them from competing, while trying to swim in fast waters with a cement block around their waists called the UAW. Foreign companies are, have been, eating their lunch!
To be fair, "fair and equitable trade that is", with so-called "Global Trading Partners" is in miserable shape, again, by our inept Government who go to work everyday, having fashion shows and social gatherings, but do little of the PEOPLES WORK unless it benefits themselves in some gratuitous way!
Of course, Americans knew that and it shows in the approval or should I say "disapproval ratings" of that septic tank called Congress!
The Republican move against the bailout, as predicted, will force the Automakers into chapter 11 for reorganization which gives a company the ability to renegotiate, and here's the magic word, CONTRACTS and that means union contracts. The same happened with other companies, the Airline Industry immediately comes to mind and they became efficient, competitive and profitable!
Unless of course that Republican in name only weak kneed President of ours crumbles and signs the blank check!
Many, and I'm one, believe the Unions are partially to blame for the Auto makers predicament and it's inability to compete with lower cost car makers that have flooded the market with high quality, desirable "expensive" autos.
The Unions aren't totally to blame.
The big three were asleep at the wheel at a time - and I lived it - where they just didn't feel they needed to compete.
The good, proud, and sometimes not too smart. (no one learned from the 1970's oil crisis)citizens of this country carry a share of blame as well which led us right back into the fuel hostage scenario! Money to the Arabs for oil and money to the foreign car makers for the ride (that can go right into clothes from China, etc etc.)hence the financial crisis looming now
Foul you say! Beyond the decent pay for fair work, I don't think it's an employers responsibility to be the nanny of employees.
You get your pay, live within your means, pay your bills allowing for outside investments, less interference in the medical insurance area might help keep it affordable for those not fortunate enough to be a Union employee - irony here, finacial markets in turmoil!
That's why it's always stressed that education is imperative for every family.
We are human and that should be enough to convince anyone that caution and due dilligence in life is imperative.
NOTHING IS ABSOLUTE !
The democrats are singing woe, doom and gloom for the world (and they control most of the media) trying to force the Republicans into the corner with crys from the peanut gallery - that's YOU (because you're idiots and I mean that with all due respect brothers and sisters. It's your country and you gave it away to a Congress in which 95% of them should be in prison).
They have been in the, "THINK LOBBIES" , bag for years as their major contributor, supported by another major contributor, the "LAWYER LOBBY".
Pretty formidable foes I would think !
Look, Chapter 11 reorganization is just whst we need to move forward in the 21st century and it's new competitive Global landscape - without a new streamlined machine, we're doomed to the mediocrity of past failed empires for sure.
Without a doubt!
The fear induced panic caused by the Media and helicopter money mentality should be reigned in and in it's place should be careful thought.
The Autombile Industry should not be given $25billion which is just for starters! and presumed they will do the right thing, They haven't convinced me they're capable!
