Health Care and Detroit's "Big 3"

So they want the government to bail them out, do they? Don’t they know the government produces squat? In order for the government to give them money it must be taken from those who actually are productive and produce something viable to tax.
So why are politicians going to decide that one job is more important than my job?
Campaign donations may weigh heavy in that decision. I’d like to see the Constitutionality of bailouts brought into the discussion. That their oath of office, to defend the Constitution, seems to be all but forgotten. Perhaps they believe that some are created more equal than others.
Political reasons for manipulating the economy, I can’t find it anywhere in the Constitution of the United States of America.

Unfortunately, thanks to the Supreme Court, there is basically no limit on what Congress can do using the "Commerce Clause" of the Constitution.

..... as I see it, is their particular brand of unionization. Nothing more, nothing less.

To bail out the Big 3 is to bail out the union and all of its demands. Management should never have caved in.

Don't get me wrong: I believe that early on, labor unions played a very, very important part of our labor history. However, in many ways they themselves have killed the goose that laid the golden eggs.

Unions will probably disagree.
