What I object to is a guy at the toyota plant in TX having his taxes raised to bail out GM because the democrats owe the UAW, go figure. The pensions were negotiated great, keep paying up till the tank runs dry. What you don't want to admit is until they dump the $2500 per vehicle in legacy cost they will never be competitive. Unless their other labor costs get in line they willl never compete. They will keep cutting factories and jobs until nothing is left. You feel for the employees, terrific; I am looking out for their best interest. Go figure.
