Increasingly drastic moves by a party that feels more and more irrelevant?
Vengeance over economic stability? Hardly mainstream policies. I suppose that is why I am more interested in hearing what they believe is an adequate alternative to the loans and car-czar plan. Will the hold-outs demand the unions disband?
And why isn't anyone asking why these naysayers feel the need to scapegoat the unions for the corporate decisions? No matter what implied oppression officials claim Union demands made on them, it was GM/Chrysler/Ford management that made model decisions, vehicle ratios, supplier contracts, and marketing decisions. It isn't like these companies farmed that out to union shops. No, they painted themselves into this corner, it isn't up to the unions to bail them out.
I do believe that the unions have a part to play in all this. I am not a union or auto-business expert, but I play one on the int0rwebz.
