Is he right?

>>I imagine that you would prefer that ex-auto workers not live longer, so that it would not be so expensive to maintain them in their old age. Too many of them ignore Rush and vote Democratic, anyway.<<

If you are were an ex-auto worker, sure. Feel free to rid the world of your stench ASAP.

Of course reality isn't your strong point so business practices and cost are way above your pay grade. Pointing out the tremendous stupidy in the above quote would be a total waste of time.

Then there's the continuing obsession with Rush Limbaugh. Come on BO, you can admit it. You love him. You want to kiss him. You can't get enough of El Rushbo.

Freak.

Yea, what is this obsession Xo has with Rush??  Brass has a similar one to the show 24, but not near as pathological as Xo has with Limbaugh

What's more, people are living a lot longer. Just those factors alone should have given them reason to think these things through a long time ago, IMO.<<

I agree 100 percent with that statement. I also understand that workers were promised certain things and feel betrayed when they don't receive what they were promised. As you say, the union won't budge. So where does that leave them? To be fair, I also believe management should receive similar cuts and some of the top management should resign. It's just as much their fault as it is the unions.

If people do not buy GM or Chrysler cars, it is not the fault of the line workers. It is not the fault of the workers that a Cavalier, Escort or Neon is not as appealing to people as a Sentra, Corolla or Accord. It is also not the fault of the workers that the US companies insisted on producing  and marketing huge gas-guzzling trucks and SUVs, knowing that a surge in fuel prices would cause sales to plummet.

I hardly think that's the point, XO. Thing is, no one is going to be "maintained" if the Big 3 go under, let alone retirees.
