  • Ford's the Strongest of the U.S. Automakers: So What? [View article]
    Everyone is out to make an example of Ford. How dare they shrug off the Bail out funds, and thumb their nose at Nancy, and Harry, and Biden, and the great one himself. As a result, today we see all the articles of doom, and gloom for Fords future, and see their rating cut by Barclays. This is only the begining. They will be CRUSHED, and forced into submission, and into taking the Dem's bail out money. Why the impudence. We the people are rooting for you Ford.

  • How the Government Should Manage GM and Chrysler [View article]
    How the Government Should Manage GM and Chrysler. How about they don't. They can't manage themselves, and will only screw up the auto industry more. Why should the government be in charge of any private industry. This is the same thing that go's on in China. The government is partner with any major business.

  • Bailout Watch: Heading for a Populist Backlash? [View article]
    I can sum this post up easily. Americans are PISSED, and fed up with all this phony bail out crap. As for a car czar being appointed, well that will be the begining of the end of the big three for sure. communism doesn't work, leave the free market alone. The only people to come out on top from this are Nancy, Gore, Reide, Dodd, and all the other names of these so called experts we have heard in the past few months. They all have investment interest in these projects, or will be filling their pockets during the long term plan they have. Us, we will get the bill., oh, and shitty little cars to drive at double the price. Also, for you Reagan bashers, you just don't get it. He believed in less goverment. I am a UAW member, and I think we have one of the weakest locals in the UAW. I make more than I did before the union came in which is good, but I also think because our union is as weak as it is, and we don't get large increases, or retirement, etc. that may also be why we are still in business, and doing very well right now. If we made $50 plus an hour, we would not be in business today, so maybe being weak has kept us working. I make about $19 an hour, and I can tell you that anyone in our plant would make cars for the same thing we are making right now. Whats the difference, a car, motor, trailer, etc. its all the same in a factory.

  • The Case for Making Bigger Cars [View article]
    But we will pay for it. The gov. spends like a teenager that gets their money from their parents, and knows nothing about the value of earning that dollar because they think there is an endless supply, our tax's.

  • The Case for Making Bigger Cars [View article]
    How much more for your new eco version SUV? Does it get that much better MPG that you will recoop the higher price you pay over the price of a regular SUV? By that time you will have traded it in, and will be paying $5 to $10 grand more for your next one. Most Americans don't want small cars until there is a gas crisis, like in the 70's. When it was over, out came the demand for big, fast cars again, why, because thats what we really want. What happens if gas stays affordable? Will the little eco cars sell, or will there be lots full of them as they are full of trucks, and SUV's now. Remember the Vega, Pinto, Escort, Yugo, Gremlin, Spirit, Granada? Junk, all gone. If Congress gets their fingers in the Auto industry they will choke it, wring it, and eco it to death with regulation after regulation, and force them to build cars that they will try to force us to buy, and drive, but will we? If you take their money, you are at their mercy.

  • Detroit Calling Washington's Bluff  [View article]
    Keith Oberman is a complete moron, like all the other Lib, suck ass media. I think some of them had an orgasm after each Obama speach. Keith said he had a shiver run up his leg. How could one stoop so low as to grovel like that. SICK.

    The worker alway's gets it in the end, cuts, cuts, lay offs, and more cuts. Its the first place management looks to save money, or cut back, as the management side gets fatter, and does less.

    The Dem's, congress, and the senate, and while I'm at it, the Global warmer's, make me, and most American's SICK. They are so fake that the most uninformed, idiot can see right through their every move. What makes us even more POed is that none of them have the brains to even some what hide their intentions, moves, or the real motive behind what they do, or are about to do. My God, how far will we let this go, and continue.

    To The PA Kid, They don't care what the auto worker makes, or the CEO, or about their private jets, its all a show. They will give them all the money, and loans they need in the end, and you will pay for it, TAX's.
    National Health care will also break us, again, TAX's. I have been to China, and been in four hospital's with my wife, a Chinese citizen. Heres what you get. In the winter, hardly any heat, cold, people in chairs, and cots all up and down the halls, with bags of food, and family all around them. The janitor sweeping around you smoking, then later the same man in dirty clothes sitting on a milk carton putting labels on IV bottles, oh, and with the cigarette hanging between his lip dropping ash's all over the IV bottles. Nurses with dirty whites on, and smuges of blood where they wipe their hands, that don't care if you live or die. Oh, the IV my wife got. They missed the vein, her arm got fat, filled up, the nurse pulls out the nasty black looking needle, big too, and sticks it in her other arm, and walks off. If you want to see if you have a fever, you have to pay 5 rmb to use a thermomiter, has it been cleaned you ask your self, its the old glass kind you put in your mouth. If you need toilet paper you have to pay 5 rmb, or you better bring your own. You go in, wait maybe all day to see the Doctor, unless you know someone, or pay someone, its very corupt, and money talks. After you see the Doc. you go to a glass window like a bank, and must pay your share first, then go sit in the hall, say waiting for your Xray, oh, here comes a lady in a wheel chair being pushed by a nurse which she had to pay to be pushed about, but also, this nurse is your agent, so to speak, they try to cut in front of everyone else, and the lady, and the nurse start fighting, with my wife also, she knows how its played. The nurse, being paid, has to argue to get her lady in ahead of everyone else, the game. I'm getting pissed, not knowing the game, and pretty soon there are about 15 people in a close riot, and the gaurds. The lady lost, and must wait, sitting there bitching, and cussing the entire time, so I sit there for an hour, smoking by the way, and wait. When we left, I told my wife, if I ever get sick over here, don't take me to the hospital. Now, is that graphic enough for you, and your wonderful national health idea, oh, and you get to pay for that too, TAX's. Now, in the end. We have good health care that most country's envy, and besides, we have about 40% of our people getting free health care already, SHUT YOUR MOUTH, AND LET THE REST OF US CHOOSE HOW, AND WHERE WE WILL BE TAKEN CARE OF,
    JESUS CHRIST

  • The Big Three Crisis: Stocks Plunge as Politicians Moralize [View article]
    Lokk, like it or not, they will almost certainly get their bail out. All the yelling, and finger pointing is for show, as is GM, and Ford selling some of their jets, wow, what a sacrifice. They will get it, congress will look tuff, and nothing will change, well, except the amount we will be paying back in our tax's. Now that gas is cheaper, it is more importanat than ever to retool the big three for car getting better fuel economy, or hybrid type cars, and most important of all is drilling for oil here in America, and building more refinaries while the price of oil is low. But, as our great government has alway's done, they will wait until the price of oil returns to $150 a barrel, and then think about it again, after its to late. OPEC will cut supply, and fource the price up again, so why not do all this while we are not suffering as much. Don't forget now that gas is cheaper, keep the drilling issue, and refinary issue alive, and loud.
