  SEAL76

  Unions are one of the reasons US car makers are in such dire straits.

  Obviously untrue, since they were making billions before the banksters crashed the economy.

  None of the so called foreign car manufacturers are asking to be bailed out.

  They're subsidized. They've been bailed out in advance.

  Your lying propaganda isn't fooling anybody but other fools, wingnut.

  Congressional Republicans didn't vote against the car bill on grounds that production line workers make too much money. If their motive is to break the auto workers union, they are wasting their time. The union is already busted; no Congressional coercion is needed to have it go along with another round of wage cuts.

  The real motive of the Republicans is to have a way to blame the unions for the US economic catastrophe, which we know to have been caused by their deregulation and intentional lack of oversight of the banking industry.

  As always, Republicans need scapegoats for their own horrific failures and to cover up your greed: even as this is being written, Republicans are in the process of stealing $2 trillion outright, and this "controversy" is the smokescreen for it.

  We've crunched the numbers and run the scenarios, and we know of others who have done the same. All come to the same conclusions: as futile as a bailout would be, no bailout at all would accelerate and deepen the coming economic depression, and severely demoralize the nation besides. As if you sadists haven't kicked it in the teeth enough already.

  You neocons have done a proper job of sending the US down in flames this time. Why do you hate America so much?
