Would that be when they were being paid 15 years ahead of what the should have been paid???

Manufacturing jobs and wages are what made this country great. They are what spurred our economy. People made enough money to live well, buy home, cars, etc., and put their kids through college. Now, that most of those jobs are gone, and the threat of outsourcing remaining jobs keeps wages low, where is our economy? Besides, can you make it on what you were getting paid 15 years ago?

I worked in an auto plant one summer. It was hard and dirty work. I wasn't in the union yet, but I made good money. I could have stayed, but that job only served to reinforce the fact that I needed to go back to school. The people I worked with earned every dime they got paid. I certainly wouldn't have done that job for 1/2 the pay.

Nice try. No need to tippy toe, we're all tough around here. But if you can't stand the heat, don't throw wood on the fire. IOW, don't dish it out, if you can't take it!

Have a nice day, I hope its warm (but not too warm) where you're at...

Nice try at what??

I can take the heat and I chuck wood not throw.

Here's my hall pass regards,

GM is not concerned with helping Mexico. They are concerned with profits.

Besides, weren't you the big Toyota supporter? Why help Japan?

My Toyota was actually made in the US.

But, the profits go to Japan. So, you are still helping Japan.

And, unlike Mexico, Japan pretty much closes its market to American cars and trucks. In fact, Japan recently had a program similar to “Cash for Clunkers,” however American cars did not qualify for purchase under the program.

And, believe it or not, Buick is the big seller in China.
