Very interesting material.

I do think the "worker pool" or "jobs pool" need to go! They can collect nearly full pay and benefits for not working (even when a job opens up) PLUS government unemployment.

Also, to note, the auto companies already are government-tax payer paid/subsidied...due to the individual States that bid for their plants, and pay multi-million(billion?) dollar "incentives" for them to come there and stay there... That's one reason why they insist they do have to bail them out and not allow Chapter 11...because it's we the people who own them!

Also, without saying right or wrong... one reason our cars are so expensive than the same company's cars in other parts of the world is because of the environmental saving build ins. Now, read that... we are the only country required to save the environment..the other countries can drive less expensive cars because they don't. Regardless of what is right or not, it should (ooh I did I say "should?") be the same world-wide. IMO.
