Auto Industry Bail Out
Chip on Nov 24, 2008 10:47 AM

The fact is, the Government has to help the auto industry for two reasons. 1. Not to do so would be too costly for our nation in unemployment benefits, and loss of purchasers of other goods. 2. Not to do so would be political suicide for the poliicians. In light of this, the Union has to be run by idiots to thind that concessions in benefits ad pay do not have to be given.
