It looks to me like the Republicans in the house want to shut down the government by insisting that an act, passed by congress, be rescinded....
In response to your points, as I see them, Infrastructure may be a benefit to public welfare in a broad sense. When it allows companies to operate...
That would be great! But that can't happen until we change the way political campaigns are funded. Elections are won by legal bribery. But the...
Kevin, I didn't rely on just factcheck. The same results are on Bloomburg and the UAW site. Even more, I suppose. I didn't check everywhere. To...
Here are a couple of things from FactCheck: "... in a Nov. 18 column in the New York Times, business reporter Andrew Ross Sorkin wrote, "At GM,...
A few problems with your posting. The entry wage at GM is less than $20/hr. That is a long way from the figure you got from the NYT. But that's...
The UAW wish they were as strong as you say. There were 2 sides to the labor negotiations. The company agreed to what they figured was in their...
First Kevin, I don't agree with the wage figures you are using. If those company can't afford those pensions why did they con workers into...
Could you explain what the UAW has to do with Detroit's problems? What Fed regulations? What UAW stranglehold?
I'm glad he signed it. You ant-Americans can weep. But I'm happy with S&W, Ruger, Winchester and Remington.
I hear that if Obama bombs without congressional approval he would call it something other than war. The constitution gives congress, not the...
Healthcare and Obama were a very small part of the opening screed. It was, largely, an anti-union propaganda piece. I'd be happy to argue an...
I think these quotes from the linked article show this might be another Britebart type right wing fabrication: "The conservative news site, the...
Ritz Camera doesn't get a bailout because they are not "connected guys". Only deep pocket companies get bailouts. There was no UAW bailout. It...
Good Lord! That's more than 10% of the population. That might be as much as 25% of the working population. If you gave that 34 million a few...
So what if raising the min. wage causes an increase in prices. How much would it go up? Putting more cash in circulation would only improve the...
If the defense contractors want war the corporate Democrats will vote for war. In a recent Senate vote to limit welfare for the oil industry 27...
Another bunch of BS from the right wing propaganda machine. Reading crap like this makes me wonder if some ALEC type organization is paying...
I think we are already a second world nation. That's the way those who control our economy want it. Europeans earn more than American workers....
You are talking about something you know little about. Construction is not just building houses. That is a minor part of it. Construction...
All the construction trades have apprenticeships and they are not run by the government. What's your point?
Beatings? Murders? Union thuggery? Did you make it up? How about pension funds stolen by corporate execs through legal scams and bankruptcy? Or...
I wonder why any union supports the Democratic party. The Democrats and Republicans are two branches of the same corporate party. And both believe...
I doubt that. If the minimum wage was raised it would apply to all retailers, not just Walmart. Market share would not change much. Every time...
Funny how that works. They could cut ; executive pay, The fees paid to accountants,...
