An article by none other than RALPH NADER.
When Ralph and I agree, (I loved my Corvair...) there's something just not right... When will the general media expose this mess?

The first comment, from ACE of NC, is astute. Contrary to Matt Bandyk's last line in his article, "Obama wanted to bring less ideological post-partisan politics to Washington," Obama is all about ideology and politics. My opinion is this is about Obama's ideology of "spreading the wealth around," and what he forgot to include was, "to my friends and supporters."
The UAW campaigned hardest for Obama, and he's paying them back with the biggest wealth transfer of all time--$50 billion of taxpayer money has already gone to GM (to pay for union pensions, keep union jobs, etc.), $7 billion to Chrysler in a "loan" from taxpayers (that Obama then decided to "forgive"), another $7 billion to GMAC (that became a bank in the middle of the night on Christmas Eve so that it could receive your taxpayer money), and this doesn't include the beating the "secured" bondholders received at the clenched fist of the Treasury officials that made them take cents on the dollar. And this is likely just the beginning. Someone calculated that so far, taxpayers have given GM $425,000 for every union job there. No ideology, no partisanship?
Then as ACE mentions...GM (remember the UAW is the second biggest shareholder after the government) already wants another $15 billion... This will never end...

General Motors Corp.(GM) will ask a bankruptcy judge Monday for permission to tap about half the 30 billion. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?
After the UAW get fully funded, then GM will file for the REAL bankruptcy!
GM is going to blow half the bailout money the first week. NO WAY can this be true. Please tell me we are not going to give them 15 billion before some kind of plan.

google: bio of robert reich.
this man has been in school from age 5-75.
he has never had real-job in the real-world.
what does he know about business or how a company can make a profit-loss.
corporations to compete and stay alive in the real-world. No tenure. job for life for the pinhead-academics.
