" This is common day slavery...the government is not working right now...they are a bigger threat then the terrorists. "
The Bush Administration were the terrorists.

Free Lunch is one of the best books I've ever read. Not to mention the whole getting me angry as hell but it's great.

no more bailouts quit stealing our money
-
no kidding. This bailout bullshit is peanuts compared to the "change" which has been disappearing through the DOD for years. Unless you count the Fed's credit creation in the last year: 8 trillion and counting. I don't think the pentagon lost that much... and I'm a cynic.

Agreed with points two and three. But no one here is a slave. If they want to work, they'll stay. If they don't want to work, they'll leave. If they stay (in a bankrupt company run by the state--hey Bailout people, this is what you wanted! instead of bankruptcy and restructuring) then they have to live by the rules of the contract signed with the gov't.
The bad business practices of the CEO's gave these same workers better wages a couple years ago; now it's dreary: life isn't fair.
-
Not if a different obligation arises out of a contract. Come on, people. They just got money that they never had a right to in the first place. Instead of letting them go bankrupt (and waiting for a buyer and restructuring of the industry) and the workers keep their jobs as they were (or not), they got the gov't to give them money. How spoiled does an industry to be to say: we're bankrupt because of bad business practices: give us the money or we'll go bust: no, we won't change anything.

sjadcock: No, you're not wrong. In a free society, if someone is exploiting you, you are free to protest; and that includes staging a strike.
-
As a side note... on the lame duck watch intro... the note before the quack should be held longer.
FORBIDDEN FROM STRIKING? Who comes up with this crud! And when will it all end?
-
Aye, surely even civil servants are allowed to strike? And they're paid by the tax-payer.
Note I'm not American, so please correct me if I'm wrong.

How can anyone forbid anyone from striking? Are auto workers slaves with no rights?
