More la-la land

We complain about no longer having a manufacturing base, while the Republican Senators who have a shitload of foreign car factories in their states -- factories that employ non-union American workers, corporations that get many millions, if not billions, of tax breaks, incentives, and workers trained by the state - with taxpayer money - do all they can to kill the "Big Three", and, more important, the UAW.

If you want to "level the playing field", give our domestic auto manufacturers the very same. We should give government subsidies to Ford, GM, and Chrysler, every single year - at least enough to cover health care.

Oh yeah, don't you think UNIVERSAL HEALTH CARE, without the insurance company middle man, something that would save the auto makers about $1100.00 per car (in actual costs) would make us more competitive?

Why is everyone tip-toeing around this elephant in the boardroom?
