you’re definitely right, i would for sure take $28/hr to do minimal work. how GM and other auto manufacturers ever let it get to that point is what i don’t understand.

> great, lets let owners of private companies waste money and f uck up and then have taxpayers foot the bill to save a stupid owner of a private company. that’s f ucking stupid. Unions are a big part of the downfall of GM, maybe people will start to realize this. Unions had their place back in the day, but have no place in present day, all they do is f uck everything up. The other big part was stupid management. Instead of handing them more money to waste, why not have the investors and stockholders kick them out and pick someone else who may do a better job. F uck all these bailouts .

Listen, i’m not saying i’m for any of these bailouts, i’m saying that if the government is going to waste money, which it obviously does, then i would rather see it go into our own economy than protecting and rebuilding a country that doesn’t even want us there and sits on more oil money than we could fathom. It just doesn’t make sense to me that we pump 10 billion or so a month into that towel head country and GM is failing in our own country and unemployment is on such a rise. that’s all i’m saying.

I still like whitey’s idea, have a bunch of buckets with all the different places our tax dollars can get spent, and we have to throw our money into those buckets and decide where it gets spent.
