3. Welsh is a whore for the hyper-rich owner class
Edited on Thu Dec-04-08 08:40 AM by VAliberal
I hope Michael Moore's approach is the one that prevails in this issue. Simply allowing the 'Big 3' the out of bankruptcy in order to bust the unions would be an absolute abomination.

Labor in the U.S. would be back in 1880 or 1915 - or thereabouts.

4. Well, if it isn't clear to everyone knowing his position = we can give Citicorp billions to
buy a company in Spain and sign a 9 1/2 year contract to outsource their jobs to India, but we can't save millions of companies whose purpose is serving the car makers - manufacturing and service companies who operate within the U.S.

Want the opposite of what Jack Welsh wants and we will be OK.

If it isn't clear to everyone that they (our war rulers and barons) want the exact ratio of wealth to poverty as most other nations, then just wait. When you take it one step further, they really want some population controls also = they need healthy submissive serfs. It's plain and simple. No physically or chemically dependent, no elderly, no gays - can't birth more serfs. They want equalization - so they can maximize profits by eliminating the high transportation costs of moving materials around. They want no legislation that translates to expenses - to hell with health.

Jack Welsh - a war baron.

Bail out - only good for the banker barons and benefactors - selective bankers and backers reign.

One world banking and manufacturing and people control.

8. It drives me crazy that there was such a push to bail out the banking industry
for more money, and there is this push against bailing out the auto industry, with the effect bankruptcy would have on so many jobs.
