Michael Moore Weighs In On Auto Bailout
posted by: LiAnna D. 374 days ago
Michigan's own Michael Moore not surprisingly has strong opinions on the Senate debate about the auto bailouts. In a letter titled "Senate to Middle Class: Drop Dead," Moore explains environmentally and socially sound conditions under which the Senate could have given the automakers a loan. He continues:
But instead, the Senate said, we'll give you the loan only if the factory workers take a $20 an hour cut in wages, pension and health care. That's right. After giving BILLIONS to Wall Street hucksters and criminal investment bankers--billions with no strings attached and, as we have since learned, no oversight whatsoever--the Senate decided it is more important to break a union, more important to throw middle class wage earners into the ranks of the working poor than to prevent the total collapse of industrial America.

Bankers and giant corporations are one and the same money given to one is the same as giving it to the other ultimately it ends up in the hands of the banksters, interesting that the people cannot see who the senate supports when they want the workers to take a cut, Cutting the overpaid execs would raise a cool billion or two.
