    They probably started drinking and smoking pot because Obama was there. They probably felt like sheet for supporting him so they were trying to drown their sorrows and guilt.
    No reports so far of jeep wheels falling off or catching fire due to poor workmanship.

    It showed them drinkin and smoking Pot on lunch break.
    But it wasn't enough to keep them fired.
    The union got their jobs back.

    Another reason I was pissed that Obama bailed the auto folks out.
    Know the union runs the country.
    The union should of been broke.
    I know folks need good jobs.
    But not jobs like the unions provide at our expense

    Got a Buddy that used to work for Butler Mfg. He said the union was so strong you couldn't fire a worker. Even if they didn't do their job,
    Seems butler mfg tried and tried talkin to the union,
    Butler mfg builds metal building material for a lot of Walmarts across the U.S. and other places,
    He said Butler shut down in some of the places in the U.S. cause of the Union
    They moved their operation to Mexico and ships it back the the U.S and its still cheaper than building it here and dealing with the Union
    Folks cry about things not made in the U.S. anymore.
    Well the big folks are tired of dealing with the union demands and to turn a profit and not deal with the EPA. They go to Mexico and China.
    Want jobs to return to the U.S.
    Choke the EPA and put regulations on the Union Labor.
    I know you can't deal or do anything with the Union cause its the Mafia
    So git used to crying about things made in other countries.

    I hear about new Obama regulations for people especially in the Oil industry to be able to do jobs. Hes bringing new cost to the business of the U.S..
    YOu will look to more smaller business shutting their doors cause of the regulations.
    Know a business with 13 folks that are down to 7 workers cause of the vendors they lost .

    .: U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works :: Issues :.

    But we voted for Obama so look for this country to do worst.
    Already hearing next year will not be as good.

    I did not vote for that *^~<: and I have no problem with foreign made products as long as we are on a level playing field...It is a global economy and we are not the only game in town anymore...What don't they understand? They have priced the US out of business...They just don't get it and probably never will...

    The statement about pricing the U.S, out of business.
    They don't care. You can not get a car made, a high rise building built, glass put in. and a lot of other things without the Union.
    The Union in my book elected the president of the U.S. this time.
    The union is only interested in the Union and the money the Union makes.

    There are lawyers and other people that will help you git on disability and welfare if you will -pay them.
    It may take a few years but they know how to do it.
    I've seen it over and over.
    If you can git on Disability, you can make more money than on SSI.
    They say, who wants to go to work everyday to a job that sucks and don't pay enough money.

    It used to be that people out of work could get relief until they found a job. Now people work at staying on relief.

    The government has so many folks sittin in the office
    Nobody goes out and spys on them to see what they are doing.
    They go fishing, drinkin and sleep all day.
    A lot can work just like you if they was to starve to death.
    We are on our last leg with the 16 trillion borrowed.
    And all we can do is Blame China and say I don't want anything made there.
    The buyers here buy the stuff. Blame them.
    China can make anything to anybodys specs
    What the problem is the profit margin ain't big enough for the buyers

    I have no problem with China except we are not on a level playing field with them...They impose tariffs on US goods and we do not...Not fair...

    Do you think your man in the white house don't know this.
    What has he done ?
    Spend more money.
    Can you stop him from spending money.
    We couldn't. We couldn't even keep him from being re elected.
    Can you repay them the 16 trillion back right now and I know there is some kind of interest.
    You think you can put a strain on china ?
