The Senate last night sent the UAW and all other parasitic North American labor unions a message.
That message was: In belt-tightening times, ALL belts get tightened.
If this doesn’t wake auto union members up to the complete disconnect between a fair wage and the outrageous amount of money they make for fitting parts together all day, I don’t know what will. If the unions want to survive, they need to stop living in that dream world where dollars grow on trees, and their members need to step up and tell their leadership that, ultimately, taking a pay cut is a hell of a lot better than not being paid at all.
For once the Senate lived up to its hype of being the world’s oldest deliberative body. It deliberated, and it finally said, we’re not going there. Harry Reid and Carl Levin can be as disappointed as they want, but on mature reflection this bailout was DOA in the Senate chamber.
It makes me so happy that Democraps will be in complete charge for the next two years. The crap pile the economy is going to be left on is going to be blamed completely on them, with Republicans resurgent in 2010 if they play their cards right.

“with Republicans resurgent in 2010 if they play their cards right.”
Fat chance. The stupid party will continue to put forward RINO candidates and the Congressional Repubs will see the last election as some kind of mandate (even though Obama did not win by a much larger margin in pop vote than Bush). They will try to just get along. In the end we will just have Dems and Dems light as choices.
It is goping to t ake a very strong personality to turn this ship around, and there is no Reagan in the wings (The media will never let it be Palin).
Well, come on. I said “if”.
Why should the UAW bend over? They have the current Democrat in the White House there to bail them out?
Reid actually voted against their bailout. Come on, has anyone ever thought they wouldn’t eventually get their money.
All this is a perfect opportunity for the Republicans to pounce on the left. But they won’t….too uncivilized. Well, that and they’re too clueless. All I want for Christmas is some strong CONSERVATIVE leadership in the Republican party.
