What’s the downside again to the big three failing?
From where I sit, they now deserve to be jobless. |

Quelle surprise.
"From where I sit, they now deserve to be jobless."
But isn’t it much more than just the greedy union members being jobless? Kind of OT, but what would happen to the promised pensions of auto workers should GM go bankrupt? My FIL is all for the bailout (loan) because he says that if GM fails, in the long run the American tax payer will pay FAR more in taxes to guarantee (Government) those pensions. First, is this true? And second how will (does) a loan guarantee GM’s health/prosperity? I’m mostly interested to answers to the first question of the veracity of my FIL’s claim. I’m admittedly ignorant on all of this, so I was hoping for a little clarity from you all. Thanks in advance. |

I’m looking at the cartoon at the end of this piece and I’m thinking; why isn’t the fireman aiming a water cannon? |

The Pension Guarantee Board is funded by a tax on pensions. That does not mean the tax will meet the obligations, so that will be more taken from the US Treasury. The pension guarantee is usually less than the original pension and does excludes medical benefits. It is hard to see that the cost of guaranteeing the the pensions will come to more than we will end up pouring into the Auto companies and still see them go bankrupt.

In my view, it would be best if the big three survived and the UAW went down.

Question: did UAW ever actually agree to the wage concessions in the first place? My impression from the reports I read is that they weren’t even asked to agree when the White House issued the bailout money—the auto companies were simply issued a set of conditions. |

So here’s President-elect Obama’s first domestic issue. Does he stand by the agreement made and face down the UAW claiming that a deal is a deal? Or does he cave and make the concessions to the union while still requiring the car companies to be viable (which would require, in part, union wage concessions) by March 31 or the loans are pulled? To even ask that question is crazy. What do you think The Clown™ will do? Turn against the unions who slobbered tens of millions of dollars on his campaign, taken from the pockets by force from hard working Americans? Do something to show he is not a hostage to the union bosses? After all, he named far-left union lover Hilda Solis as Secretary of Labor. Will she back employers or the bloodsucking union bosses?
I would love to take bets on this one. We can hear The Clown’s™ speech now: "I realize that a deal was made between the Bush administration and the auto companies that included wage concessions from the union workers. But in this time of an economic downturn, I have to agree with the hard-working middle class workers that they cannot afford this, and, thus, I am excising that portion of the deal. We will continue to work with the unions to get a better deal for them."
In other words: unions, come suck on the new teat in charge. |

i’d like to see something positive, that would be a festivus miracle! Here’s something positive:
November 2012: Barack Obama tonight conceded the presidential election after just one term in the White House, after he presided over a huge drop in the US economy as well as a massive spending spree that has sunk the United States into record amounts of debt, with nothing to show for it.
Now if that means that Chrissy Matthews starts to cry on tv, and Rachel Maddog and Keith Dimbulbermann and Jack Cafferty all line up and take their own lives in protest of The Clown™ losing, then that would definitely be a positive move. For America. For the human race. |

America loses so Republicans can win.... nice positive. |
