I hope your letters to the financial community that got 40+ times what the auto folks got are just as mean.

What are you going to do when the Chinese start to compete with your industry?

“I Stood by and did nothing when they came for my neighbor…”

There has to be a better solution than throwing 3 million people to the wolves. Many of them never had a say in what was built, how it was built, for what market it was built, what would happen if the economy went bad, and did not know the Gov would GIVE 350 Billion to the Banks and Investment community without a say in who got it, how much they got and without even being able to learn how they spent it

Seriously is not a bail out so a man can keep his job and be a productive worker better than putting the man on the welfare roles to satisfy your political needs. Shame on Congress for politics before people.

I find playing politics with the future of 3 million HARD WORKING AMERICANS revolting. Congress needs to see what it is like to go without a paycheck.

I heard once about an idea where you paid the Doctor while you were well, and stopped paying him/her when you were sick. I think we should consider applying this idea to Congress.

When Mr. Middlefinger is asking for taxpayer dollars, he is inviting congress to the table and the rest of us – the great unwashed that don't carry an elite UAW Membership Card.

From “American” (below):
“I really don't understand Gettelfinger's argument that Senate Republicans are protecting foreign automakers by asking for a definite date for pay parity with auto workers of foreign brands. How would it help a foreign company if a US automaker is more viable or competitive? Pardon me, but that had to be the most stupid argument he has made yet.” – EXACTLY

This is the same woman who predicted the financial crisis on Bloomberg TV back in 2006 (http://www.blinkx.com/video/lynn-tilton-on-bloo...) so perhaps she’s worth listening to now.

She proposes direct lending to businesses through a new “Provisional Federal Bank (http://www.patriarchpartners.com/Lynn_Tilton_Wa... must be made available not solely to big banks where Treasury-injected capital has been amassed to fill the cavity left by gambling losses, but rather expressly to deserving American companies and their people who will reignite our sputtering economy. A provisional Federal Bank must be initiated to foster enterprise and to provide job opportunities for every American.”

What are the big three (and the UAW) going to do when the Chinese start making cars with labor costs on the order of $5.00/hour?
