According to this bullshit appearing on MSNBC:
Tennessee Republican Bob Corker is pivotal deal-maker in Thursday talks
The short of Corker’s so-called plan is a 3 pronged plan to
1) Screw Labor
2) Screw Labor, and
3) Screw Labor.
If this jack-hole named 'Corker' is the GOP's idea of a 'Star' the Republican Party is truly screwed.
The fact is that Senate Republicans are holding the so-called bail-out plan hostage and the hostage is American, living wage jobs.
I have said that I currently oppose any bail-out for any Corporatocracy. And, I still do. Let them go bankrupt and work their way out of it. Let’s force their hand rather than be threatened and frightened by anymore of their lying rhetoric.
Let’s NOT allow Senate Republicans to force Labor to make any MORE sacrifices while dumb-ass corporate executives get a taxpayer hand-out so they can continue to advertise $84,000 Cadillac Escalades during Sunday night football, as they did this past week!
Republicans will never be satisfied until they can permanently create an American under-class that is desperate enough to work for pennies like Chinese workers. THAT is their ultimate goal.
That is the GOP Republican end-game. It always has been. The suffering created by dumb-ass, out-of-touch auto industry executives and Republican failed economic policies must be shared by all, and not just the American worker.
I have purchased (never leased) literally dozens of American cars in my life time. I have only ever owned ONE Japanese car for a brief period.
But, if dumb-ass Harry Reid allows the GOP Republican MINORITY to dictate the terms of any bail-out which ultimately puts the weight of the changes on the backs of the American auto workers … from where the sun now stands, I have spent my last red cent on American iron. Period.
Secondarily, deep-south Republicans continue to ply their old-school scare tactics:
“It’s quite unlikely that an auto rescue package will cause riots. But if they did occur, a likely proximate cause of public outrage at that point would be the loss of three million jobs that will have resulted because the bailout was not passed.” [SOURCE]
Here is the TRANSLATION of what that ass-hat is really trying to convey:
My rich executive handlers are about to take it in the shorts, and so all you peon laborers had better bend over and spread ‘em for whatever bail-out concessions we demand of labor, or we might just take our show on the road to China, which we are already planning to do anyway, then you’ll be out of a job altogether, which you ultimately will be anyway.
Do you get it folks? This is a no-win deal already. It’s over. Go find a new job out of the auto-industry because that industry was murdered by failed Republican Economic policies, long ago. The only measure of satisfaction you have available to you is to take some richie-rich executives down with you. That’s it. That is the best you can hope for until there is a massive, paradigm shift in thinking and legislation which favors American manufacturing AND the labor that makes it all possible. Labor trumps capital and until that fact is accepted, we’re all screwed. And that acceptance cannot be advanced until there is a complete and total breakdown of the old, old system that is now faltering. Let it go.
Do you wonder why Ford is less at risk than GM & Chrysler? Because Ford has been selling little, high mileage puddle-jumpers to European consumers all along because gas has been $10/gallon in Europe. Meanwhile they have continued to bone the American consumer by denying us access to those kinds of rigs. NOW, you’ll start to see those types of vehicles brought into the U.S. market while GM & Chrysler play catch-up. The point is they have had the rigs available, just not to the American consumer who they have chosen to screw for decades! And now they want the very people they have been screwing all along to lend them a helping hand. Screw ‘em, and the horse they rode in on.
