2016 Postmortem

(18,816 posts)I hate to take it personal, After all, it's about destroying the unions, not me directly. Still, I do and it makes me despise Republicans and their enablers all the more.
While the jury was still pondering the bailout I had a conservative explain to me that GM would be fine on it's own because private investors would step right up and supply the company with the money needed to keep building cars. Of course he strongly implied that the UAW would have to find another line of work for that to happen.
Months later we learned that GM couldn't even find a buyer for their Hummer line, so he was proven full of shit, just like Mitt Romney who proposed the exact same thing.
The first thing that the White House did was shitcan GM's much reviled CEO Rick Wagoner, the man who blamed workers for bad decisions he himself made. I have special reasons for supporting this president over Mr Bain Businessman.
