I've searched the country clubs where people like OJ live. I've noticed that the most expensive mansions are being purchased by professional "athletes" (big boys raking in millions playing little boy's games). I see actors & musisions splurging with all kinds of money dripping from their outfits.
But I don't see any UAW auto workers in any of these situations.
Where are all those greedy wealthy auto workers hiding out?

German automakers and Japanese heavy weights like Toyota aren't exactly raking in the money at this point.
American auto-makers have a once-in-a-lifetime chance to rework their business model and become competitive again. However, the latter is now likeliest only with Ford, assuming they survive. GM and Chrysler, as government zombie companies will likely only continue to feed the inefficient, bloated unions that choked them to death in the first place (that's not to say that their greedy execs didn't have a part to play).

I'm outraged that the President has the audacity to unconstitutionally side-step Congress by passing this automaker bailout. Economically speaking, it is clear that the market is trimming its inefficient fat (ie. the unprofitable portions of GM, Ford, and Chrysler). Chapter 11 was created specifically for these scenarios. Supporting these poor operations will only perpetuate the problem over a longer period. In times like these, it is essential that we support the future movement of business. For example, http://www.simplestop.net stops your postal junk mail and benefits the environment.
