Federal government dismantling the U.A.W.

Being neither a Republican or Democrat I find it amusing when I find hypocrisy in either party. Of course, there is plenty.

But the instant case is the pressure the Obama administration and Congress is putting on the car companies and the unions to restructure. This has apparently resulted in what promises to be huge concessions by the U.A.W. to meet the conditions for a bridge loan.

Can you imagine the hue and cry that would be going up today if it was George W who was demanding these concessions from the unions?

I feel badly for the unions who gave enthusiastic and financial support to the Democrats to put them in office only to have them work behind the scenes to basically break the union. Not a good return on your political donation dollars.

Instead of demanding these huge concessions from American car unions, why isn't the government demanding a fair and living wage and benefits from the foreign car makers now in this country?

In the meantime, our government has handed the banks and insurance companies gifts of many more billions of dollars with no strings attached, little or no pressure to perform and with no demand, as they have with the car companies, for some kind of definitive plan for the money.

The payment on these huge "investments" will have to be paid by our children and grandchildren.

If you're not ready for a third party now, one that actually listens to the electorate, you must love what is going on.

And, by the way, where are our two long-serving Democrat U.S. Senators in all this? They have been and are absent and impotent in supporting and defending our car companies and the unions that make them work.
