Support your own darn country's businesses.
It's my money, I earned every penny of it and I'll spend it as I please.
That's the problem with this country. Too many are concerned only for themselves and could care less about their fellow Americans. There will be a time when he won't have a penny to spend, and no will care about him either. GM and Chrysler make some good products. The warranties are backed by the govt., so no worry there. I believe the loans to the automakers will work out only if this country mans up and starts slapping import tariffs on the foreign competition. I'm all for free trade if there is a balance, but we're getting killed by unfair foreign competition.
I am still waiting for those UAW guys to help me with my job.
If you knew anything about the auto industry you would know GM is the first OEM to demand parts be made in China so they could make more profit to fund the UAW obligations. This started back in the early 90's when Lopez was put in charge of Global Purchasing.
BTW, I already saw my first UAW= Un-American Auto Workers bumper sticker on a Honda.
If you knew anything about the auto industry you would know that overall GM has a higher domestic parts content than any import brand. I suppose that guy with the sticker on his Honda is really proud that a lot of the non-union workers at that plant make a whopping 10.50 per hour. May as well have a sticker that says I hate my country and the middle class.
I don't hate my country...just can't stand the UAW. They are not representative of any middle class people in the USA and only care about themselves. Their recent activities are actually illegal. But they did them anyway. GM will never get any more of my money again. Other than what they will steal in free bailouts. May as well have a gun and knife to the throats of the middle class. If anyone hates the American way of life it is the UAW as they have benefited from the perversion of it.
Unions represent the entire working class in this country, because without them, there would be no middle working class.
