I was with you until you got to the national health care bit. Socialized health care isn't working anywhere else why would it work here?

And I'm pro-union, and also willing to say that unions are a big chunk of why the big 3 are losing (or have lost) their competitive edge.

You jerks obviously don't know much about the mode...

You jerks obviously don't know much about the modern-day UAW. I know it's easy to bash unions, but...this is a good deal. The UAW may be more efficient than GM, business-wise. Not that it's saying much...

This is a brilliant move--for all concerned. It's been in the works for two years. Do you really believe a huge health care trust could be created and shifted overnight?

To gauge the effectiveness of this plan you only have to look at the Japanese markets--where Nissan tumbled today and the Nippon press is awash with stories about this. Finally, the health care burden is partially, or fully, removed form GM's direct obligation.

Health care costs have become huge business liabilities. In the name of global competitiveness, we need national health care now.

I think this is a pretty genius move on GM's part....

I think this is a pretty genius move on GM's part. That way when the Union squanders all the money on BS perks it won't be GM's fault. I just hope all my family that're retired from GM are gone by the time the money runs out.
