Taxpayers are shoveling out tons of money to help stimulate our economy and put people back to work. Would it be too much to ask corporate America to do their patriotic part? After all, a robust economy will help them too.

I'm talking to you FedEx. This smacks of corporate terrorism. (h/t TPM)

GM and UAW officials are holding meetings because, under terms of the bailout approved by the Bush administration, GM must bring its own hourly wage costs in line with those of Toyota and other Japanese automakers that operate nonunion factories in the United States. Aside from the fact that I find it outrageous foreign companies have been allowed to push our wages down in this country, I'm also outraged by Congress.

I'm not the only one. Check out this editorial from The Livingston Daily: FEDERAL PAY RAISES: Pay hikes show what Congress thinks of American workers

I'm cross-posting this from Blogging for Michigan. We're not feeling very charitable toward certain GOP politicians who voted against the auto bailout loans. What these senators fail to remember is that thousands of auto workers moved south when they retired and their pensions are helping red state economies.

We're not happy about their double-standards either. They have one set of rules for the white collar banking industry and their CEO's and another for the blue-collar auto workers and their executives.

Anyway, I don't know where this originated, but my friend in South Carolina e-mailed it to me. Her husband retired from one of the Big 3 auto companies and they moved south for health reasons.
