Retirement, what's that?

Well, if you work for, or have worked for, the big three car companies you have your retirement. As long as the unions keep sucking the life out of the car industry to pay retirement and health care benefits to everyone who ever worked for them for the rest of their lives they will need to keep stealing the taxpayers money to keep them solvent.

It's amazing to me that I have lost more than half of my retirement funds lately but these guys are guaranteed theirs and they made 3 times the wages of the ordinary American worker to top things off. Now our tax money has to keep bailing them out of trouble. Makes you sick doesn't it?

Why doesn't the government give the American taxpayer a big stimulus check ($15,000 or so) and let us go buy a new car if we want one? It's not solving the problem to just keep giving money to the car companies if no one is able to buy a new car! I would bet that the percentage of people that would buy a new car with a large stimulus check would be very high.

Common sense... Something Obama and the rest need a little more of, instead of tax money!
