GM seeks up to $30B in aid, to cut 47,000 jobs

[Rt.66]

Agreed, but I would have them start at the failed trade policys of the last 40 years. Why punish any American worker for bad Government policies or the greed of the wealthiest individuals in America, the Elite.

If our Government subjected our industries to unfair trade pressure because they had globalism in mind and not America or the American worker then why should we accept the loss? How about the Government sending Japan a reparations bill for every car they sold under antagonistic trade terms during the last 30 years?

Bet that would save a few US jobs?

Why are we the workers paying the cost for everything? Eventually we have to say no more! No more jobs going overseas, no more tax credits for US companies who send jobs offshore, no more layoffs, less imports instead! We could fix GM, Ford and Chrysler and get them back hiring if we level the playing field or maybe we might even have to tilt the field our way for a while.

You do not want to see what a US that does not even build its own cars looks like. Would you rather see Japan slapped with a VERY deserved tarrif or 1 million American elderly retirees lose the retirement they worked for, were promised and count on?

The time for global trade charity is over. America is in a unique position, we could tell Japan that we are stopping all imports of cars until we get out of this mess and there is nothing they could do about it because they need us more than we need them. If they had any sense of fair play they would look back on the past 30 years and say “It’s your turn now, you need it and its only fair because we were really, really unfair to you for 30 years and it made us rich”.

We could tell the rest of the world to take leap because all we really need is oil and the oil countries don’t make anything anyway, so we could tell the rest of the world to handle its own shit while we get our house in order.

Imagine if Obama announced that tomorrow? All the BS he has done so far has given very few any hope that they will get a job out of this trillion dollars of stimulus. Telling America we are shutting the trade charity tap until our manufacturing jobs are flush like they were 25-40 years ago and America is healthy and debt free would send the country into nationwide celebration.

Telling the country that we are going to start making things again would give us something tangible to hope for and work towards with the obvious benefits of lasting jobs that pay well. Sure it would not be easy or problem free but it sure would fix our biggest troubles.

Note to self: Don’t argue with FLU about the car industry. Nice work, FLU.

By the way, there was an asian guy on a recent episode of Wipeout (the couch potatoes vs. the cheerleaders) who made it to the final 6 who looks exactly as I imagine FLU.

Asian cars all look the same. You could throw a sheet over most of Toyota, Honda and Nissans inventory and not be able to distinguish which model was hiding under the Wamsutta sheet.

* Now the Dodge charger and the new challenger… now there is some sheet metal beauty!

* The Chevy Malibu is like a mid size car in a really nice suit and the new Camero is just stunning!

* Cadilacs WOW!

* Chrylser Sebring, yeah! The Crossbow? Deffinately!

* Ford Flex, I love it. Ford trucks make me lust.

I could go on but…

Now my list of inspiring Asian cars:

* Well there is the….uh what was that called? No thats the other one….um well…uh.. I’m sure they make something creative?

I’d rather go 180k miles trouble free miles in something with some soul and excitement than 190k trouble free miles in a boring as hell generic, cookie cutter econo-box on wheels.

Any of you Japan cheerleaders know how many Saturn cars have well over 200k miles and they are still going strong? I recently discovered that you just can’t kill those little things. I have a friend with one with well over 300k on it and you’d never know. Just read about a lady who has a Saturn wagon with over 600k on it. Oh well, GM sucks, lets buy a Honda!
