I would not call GM a proud symbol of America. If I had to own an American car (even though there is no such thing anymore) it would be in the GM
family. I though personally prefer an import. Imports for the most part are lighter, faster, get better MPG, and just flat out look better.
I am not bashing unions when I say this but the UAW is part of the problem.

Workers getting paid to sit and do nothing actually angers me because those working might be losing their jobs now. I can see allowing a month or a
little more of pay while they look for a job elsewhere but after that shut down the pay and make them do something. I would bet my house that this is
set up because of the union. I have no problem with them working toward making conditions and pay more favorable, but there should be limits to the
stupidity. Now due to things like this we will end up having to pay one way or another. Job banks? Come one they are nothing more than far over
glorified welfare checks.
It is not all their fault though the companies that kept making vehicles that grew bigger and bigger while burning more and more fuel did not help.
Then to top that off they pay mega bucks to the CEOs and allow them the use of private jets. The whole thing is screwed up from the top to the bottom.
The Unions are screwed up due to greed on their own part too. Both sides are to blame.
Really if not for there being a huge amount of jobs lost I would say let them collapse. Even with that I am still tempted to say let them collapse. I
can guarantee that if my job starts to hurt the government is not going to bail it out. Not only that but where has the government been when all these
other places start to move their business overseas?
Even if they get a bailout I think it is too late for them and others. Greed has grown too large and cannot be contained any longer. The greed has
started to devour itself.
