We screw cars, and people, together.
Even liberal The Nation magazine is unhappy that the plan to make Government Motors competitive and profitable is to produce more of their cars for sale in the U.S. off shore. The Nation thinks that the UAW members who won't be building those cars are getting the short end of the stick, but what about the taxpayers/consumers? Previous government attempts to make GM competitive created rules that forced foreign car companies to build cars in the U.S. Somehow those companies can build cars profitable in the U.S. The difference? The workers at the captive plants don't belong to the UAW.
