Re: Caught in the Crossfire at Capitol Hill
We should not be bailing out the big three.
1) They have, since the 1970's been producing crappy vehicles. There is a reason why Toyota has taken the top spot in the world today. A quality product. If the American companies made equally reliable cars and trucks, they would still be in the running financially. People want to buy American but are tired of getting ripprd off!
2) Yes, Unions do contribute to the problems. Union employees and benefit packages cost more to the companies that are trying to sell a product. That's why so much manufacturing has gone overseas. I have seen plenty of waste, time=money, on Union jobs.
Let's not forget the harrassment when "god forbid" a non-union employee walks onto a job site. Especially in big union cities. Talk about the need for an FBI racketeering investigation!
3) Amazingly, we don't hear the Asian automakers crying. We don't see their American non-union employees complaining about there jobs being cut. We don't hear about the American based, non-union automaker plants having to be shut down. Think about it open mindedly!
4) I apologize if I offended anyone. Just wanted to vent like everyone else!
