In exchange for the $18 billion, automakers\u2019 labor costs have to be made &#8220;competitive&#8221; with those of foreign car companies with plants here in America like Nissan, Toyota and Honda. The &#8220;jobs bank&#8221; program which allows union workers to earn almost full pay for not working must be reformed, and at least half of the payments auto companies make to retiree health plans have to be made in stock instead of cash.<\/p>\n<p>United Autoworkers Union president, Ron Gettlefinger (a great name for a union thug!) ungrateful that President Bush saved his union members\u2019 jobsm, badmouthed him for adding &#8220;unfair working conditions&#8221; that single out workers.<\/p>\n<p>Then Congresman Barney Frank, one of the Democrats directly responsible for the housing and financial crisis, opened his yap. He accused President Bush of leading an &#8220;assault&#8221; on working men and women, taking away money &#8220;legally owed to them,&#8221; and allowing foreign auto companies to dictate wages for American workers.<\/p>\n<p>Barney, we have proof of what happens when unions dictate wages. Hence, the bailout!<\/p>\n<p>Now, America\u2019s incoming Messiah, Lord Barack Obama the Most Merciful, had a pronouncement as well. Workers should not be &#8220;taking all the hits,&#8221; he declared. Excuse me, Mr. Messiah? Workers aren\u2019t taking the hits. They\u2019re keeping their jobs. It\u2019s the American taxpayer &amp;ndash; as always &amp;ndash; who\u2019s taking the risks and takingthe hits for a bunch of left-wing ingrates!<\/p>\n<p>And they\u2019re not even saying, &#8220;Thanks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>*Note: Links to content outside RushLimbaugh.com usually become inactive over time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rush\u2019s Morning Update: UAW BailoutDecember 23, 2008Watch It!
