My son works for a company that furnishes parts for the big three, although he himself does not coment, he does repeat what the UAW say.

They coment on the government crop subsidies, spending two billion a week to assist another country. He also claims that the UAW wonder why their co workers are getting double what they make as they watch the news.

My son argued that does every farmer get over a million dollars from the government? or just some? I pointed him to EWG database and told him to look it up for himself.

My son used to help me in construction, and then hung drywall for a living before he landed his current job. He now has a very good job, and I never have asked about his income. That being the fact, he certianly says that some of those jobs that those workers do takes a special kind of person to do. He also comented that anyone who thinks you go to Detroit and ask for a job and overnight you make big dollars??? Well he did mention the words dumb A$$e$. He said most that do get hired don't make the grade. Alot get a few hours a week, and maybe you have a job next week and maybe not. This he claimed goes on for years before getting locked into the union. They have ways to weed out a very very large percent, and they can do it regardless of the unions.

He also said that once you do make the top of the hill it is almost impossible to get fired even if you should be.

(Bouncing backward here) Some of his buddies at Detroit are very ticked off at the news coverage, and would like to have every workers wages accounted for, as not a single one of his buddies makes even half of what the news media claims.

A coment he brought to my attention was about the retired workers pention. Well actualy he was debating his point of view with a farmer friend that has just retired and sold his farm for probably twice what it can pencil out raising #3.00 corn. My son pointed out that after a couple years the new buyer should cut the payments in half like the farmer suggested the big three should do. Son said a contract is a contract signed by two people, and regardless the retired farmer gets his farm back and gets to keep all the money that he would have recieved. So my son suggested that the retired auto worker should get to recall all the cars they built then?

I have to admit my son did change my mind a little, but I'm still not certian they should get a bail out unless the government has a big say so, and makes conditions. My son leveled the playing field with his next question, and we all started laughing as he nailed it pretty good.

YOU want the US government to basicly manage a business? YA... how well has that been workin out so far, seven trillion in debt????? He said that is probably more cernals of corn that the retired farmers farm produces in one year.
