If the people in the technology industry bragged as much as the Union about accomplishments, they would get laughed out of the VC office for never showing results of business accomplishments after 73 years!!

After 73 years of UAW existence there is very little to show for their tongue and cheek accomplishments, but lots of braggers and no results.

Honestly, after 73 years of UAW telling us they know how to build cars and they know how to manage labor and the executives did everything wrong and the government must give tax breaks and put tariffs on imported cars (notice Flat, Alfa Romeo, Seat, Peugeot and Citroen do not exist in USA); the only results I see is American Motor Corporation (out of business), Oldsmobile (Oldest car company with most Nascar Pace Cars, out of business), Cord (out of business), De Soto (out of business), Plymouth(out of business), Eagle (out of business), Nash (out of business), Packard (out of business), Studebaker (out of business), REO (out of business), Pierce Arrow (out of business), Graham (out of business) Auburn (out of business), Franklin (out of business), Hudson (out of business), Kaiser (out of business), and etc., etc., etc.

Is this the UAW Union you joined? The Union leadership are thinking they should keep the senior member pay, perks and layoff the new workers. The Jr. Union workers UAW want to layoff are the ones with the least seniority, lowest legacy cost and least perks on the job; these are the members UAW parade before the public to illustrate how the union compromised in negotiation. Union pay scale is based on seniority, therefore the people with the highest seniority has the highest legacy cost and perks. Listen to the Union president and senior members, they want to keep the highest legacy cost, most senior, oldest members with highest numbers of perks and layoff the youngest workers.

According to information published by the UAW members at this website. The average UAW member makes $30 per hour. That is a $62,000 per year job. Now that the UAW jobs are on the line they want the average American to contribute $25,000,000,000 ($25 Billion) to save their jobs. The only issue I have is 1/2 of the Americans asked to make this sacrifice make less than $40,000 per year.

Is it fair for UAW member to ask all these people making less to contribute when they are not willing to contribute anything to saving the companies or their own jobs?

Who are the biggest short sellers in Automotive Stocks!

You will be very surprised when you analyze the negotiation all these people are doing. Until you build a composite options position that mimic the behavior and negotiations done on the behalf of the employees and car companies.

The biggest short sellers in Automotive Stocks!

Let me explain, then show you who they are: Short selling or short sellers are someone or entities that cause the company to sell stock equity position to raise cash or use cash to defend its stock position to pay out for the contract position the opposing person or entities holds.

Who are these short sellers? You will be surprised to find out!

GMAC under Christopher Nordeen became the largest subprime lender in UK and Spain!! This all started with GMAC attempting to carve out it's own market for secondary mortgages and by passing Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae. GMAC went to Europe where the market was less regulated. Here is a copy of their advertisement article for GMAC-RFC dated Thursday, October 6, 2005 for American Banker, The financial Services Daily.

The polls in October are very telling. Between October 3rd and October 13th, three polls conducted by two entities with more than 3000 adults surveyed stated the country was going in the wrong direction.

WAS THIS A REFLECTION OF AMERICANS WANTING TO GET AWAY FROM OIL BASED ECONOMY?

USA Today/Gallup Poll 10/3-5/08 9% Satisfied 90% Dissatisfied 1% Unsure
USA Today/Gallup Poll 10/10-12/08 7% Satisfied 91% dissatisfied 1% unsure

Senator Shelby of Alabama wants you to believe that this is an encouragement for "Center Right" to govern.

I am not a lawyer but my read of the constitution as a lay person would argue the Prop. #8 ruling like this:

First Amendment - Establishment Clause, Free Exercise Clause; Freedom of Speech, of the press and of assembly; right to petition

"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances."

Evidence

There are churches and religious practices in USA that have historically allowed homosexuals to attend and practice mass.

There are evidence of churches and religions with sanctified priest and pastors that have united people of the same sex in marriage.

Marriage is therefore a religious act, not civil act; therefore the USA Government have no rights to create laws that abridge the religious rights of these people or to discriminate by denial of their religious right to consummate a marriage.

In Washington State the negative ads from Dino Rossi, RNC and BIA stated there is a budget deficit of $3 billion.

Read any newspaper or government website on the Washington State Budget and one can see there is a surplus. The News Tribune in Tacoma Washington reported as of June 2008 the state expected surplus is $801 million in 2009.

http://www.thenewstribune.com/...

All the Democrats in Washington have to do is publish the Budget and Account Balance Sheet 2007-2009. Beginning balance $768.3 Million, Ending Balance and Reserves $1,203.8 Million. That's over one billion dollars in reserve funds for rainy day!!

http://www.ofm.wa.gov/...

Only explanation is Dino Rossi, RNC, and BIA distributed false financial information with malice and intent to damage the government and citizens of Washington State, causing distortion is Washington State credit rating and increased our interest obligations on municipal bonds issued to support state activities.
