Sir, respectfully, even using your math, which isn't correct according to informaiton I've read, that's a SUBSTANTIAL difference in hourly wages just for active workers. You must not be in business if you consider that to be insignificant. That is quite damned significant in terms of labor costs. *boggling at your conclusion*
In any case, the facts of *amount* are irrelevant. If the UAW had a choice (and it did, it could have negotiated differently and agreed to take some paycuts), then the Senators who asked them to were not the only ones that had a choice. Oh, wait. They're gambling on getting TARP money, which they probably will.
Gee, they keep their salary and get bailout funds. Not stupid of them. Stupid of us if we allow it to happen. But wait, we can't do anything because TARP is at the discretion of Paulson, et al and we don't even have representation to save us from it.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
