Let's Hope the Auto Bailout Has Failed for Good

As a non-automotive businessman in Detroit, it is hardly "outrageous" as you characterize the current trend in union auto wages. Most of the content of your column is rubbish.

The UAW is willing to compromise and wage parity would likely be reached in 2011 when the present contract expires.

GM, Ford, and Chrysler are good community stewards. They have done measurably more to help the USA. Take a look at the money and products they individually contributed following 9-11 and then contrast that with the stinginess of the Asian transplants.

GM is a great community citizen sponsoring many cultural and charitable causes in SE Michigan.

The Asian transplants don't give back. They take American dollars and send them to their overseas owners.

General Motors: Beginning the Endgame?

The only alternative is a continuous transfusion from the U.S. Treasury.

Note to Pelosi and Reid: What goes around, comes around.
