    That's not mine, but I have no idea who to credit it to.

    Your comment is much appreciated. Delphi really is just an example. There are millions upon millions of Americans who are teetering on the edge of a financial cliff and the republicans seem perfectly content to give them that one last push that will put them over.

    Privatize the profit; socialize the risk. We need to repeat this everywhere.

      well. i googled "privatize the profit": the phrase has been in general & bloggish conversation for a long time and there are some wonderfully giddy resources for the phrase. after clicking on tacitus and flaubert [neither of which seem to have anything much to do with the phrase - damn], i clicked on an (anti-) (i think... it was hard to tell - you know?) -illuminati site. so since i couldn't tell if the illuminati really really were the first first to use it, i've decided to credit you. may i also claim you're one of the secret illuminati labor rights organizers? please? oh. well. okay, perhaps not.

      again thanks for your post, and thanks also to the other posters - the ramifications are staggering.

      put the blame on the workers. Shine the light on why they had to strike. I'm behind them, when you have nothing you have nothing to lose.
