Is the American government really trying to shake down the UAW?I mean come on whats really going on here?Is our government really that stupid or blind?The big 3 is asking for a LOAN not a BAILOUT! Citybank goes to them for a BAILOUT and then goes back and asks for more.Did they torture that company or AIG?No but here the ALMIGHTY GOVERNMENT sits up on their so called pedestals and asks our MAJOR employers of the USA to cut this and cut that.Would our Government cut their pay or their benefits?Start at the top and work your way down not at the low guy who is already struggling!They really have some NERVE!The GOVERNMENT helped Toyota years ago when they were going under on the brink of bankruptcy!Do you all know that? Why are they letting our AMERICAN automakers SUFFER and BEG???This is bull!KIck them DAM foreign car companies out of the USA and quit letting our American run companies go down the DAM tubes!PEOPLE GET THE WORD BAILOUT OUT OF YOUR MIND. IT'S NOT A BAILOUT THEY ARE ASKING FOR.IT IS A L O A N!Congress needs to be ashamed.They get free benefits,their social security is guaranteed,and they are making hundreds of thousands of dollars a YEAR!Tell THEM to give all that up and see if they like it! How about they give each AMERICAN family $1 million dollars each to pay off their homes and cars and then those families invest in the BIG 3.Now that sounds like a PLAN!Then all of the jobs would be saved and our AMERICAN companies would not have to beg like DOGS!Come on people support our automakers because this is going to affect everyone here in AMERICA not just the workers of the Big 3.If the Big 3 starts cutting the wages of those workers the foreclosure and repos are going to skyrocket!Those people in congress need to live a day in an average AMERICAN families shoes.Could they survive??????????????HELL NO THEY WOULDNT!
