Business groups dare Obama to limit pay for union bosses - The Back Story - Washington Times
Sure they did, any liability of the company would "have something to do" with them going bankrupt. However, the Unions didn't suddenly change in the past 10 years, and start being evil which caused GM to suddenly decline. It was because of other systemic moves by GM
The retirees of GM were getting a whopping 80% of their base pay & continue to do so--thanks to Barack Obama & this administration. Only now--we're paying for it. Obama cast his vote--over this bankruptsy & he voted UNION.
It's not that I don't blame management too--they could have stopped this insanity years ago & didn't.
Yeah, he voted for the people who worked for it as opposed to the bankers who tried to make money from its demise. What a terrible, terrible man.
I also think Limbaugh's suggestion that all government salaries should be capped at $100k every year there is a deficit.
That includes the ridiculous operating expenses members of Congress get to work with.

And please tell what bankers caused the demise of GM & CryslerIf you're referring to bondholders--YOU too can own bonds on any publicly traded company--you don't need to be a bank. (commonly referred to as Preferred stock.) Obama screwed them big-time.
BTW--No Business equals No workers which equals NO UNION.
GM's decline wasn't 'sudden' and didn't start within the past 10 years. They chose 'quick profits' along with 'labor packages' to avoid strikes, instead of retooling and turning to robotics and other cost-saving methods.I didn't know union bosses lead companies that failed, which were then bailed out with the boss receiving tens of millions of dollars.
Oh wait. They didn't. Hence the discrepancy.
And you probably don't think the auto unions had anything to do with bankrupting GM & Chrysler either.![]()

unions did not get bailouts...
Actually they did...sort of.
When the USA came in to sort of save GM, they also sort of saved the unions.

not even "sort of" they did,, the unions got stock in the business, we own the company and the union works for us.. we want full disclosure now of all salaries.

Yeah, that's why I think "sorta", actually. Given what they gave up for those stocks, and given what those stocks are actually worth, the union only sorta got saved.
Just like GM only sorta got saved.
we own the company and the union works for us.. we want full disclosure now of all salaries.
I'm not entirely in disagreement with this sentiment.
I'd like to see the union managment get cleaned up no less than I'd like to see managment get cleaned up.

and the democwats voted for it,, blindly voted for it!![]()
Voted for them making huge amoutns of money? What?
Here's the answer Nick: These liberals really don't know that the 64 million in AIG bonuse's that everyone was so outraged about a couple of months ago was stuck in the so-called economic stimulus bill? Meaning taxpayer dollars for 64 million for executives at AIG were included in the so-called economic stimulus bill.
They don't know that another 200+ million in bonuses were also in the so-called stimulus bill that was also for bonuses at Freddie/Fannie. Meaning 200+ million in taxpayers dollars were included in the so-called economic stimulus bill for executive bonuses at Freddie/Fannie.
Willow--was stating that our congress & President signed off on this bill--without reading it first. Criss Dodd & Tim Geither stuck these bonuses in the bill. It's a done deal.

Incredibly stupid. You wonder why government is inefficient? Its, in part, because people don't get paid enough and so they have a hard time recruiting quality people. Government needs to be able to offer competitive salaries with private companies.
