I have worked at Toledo Jeep Assembly Complex for over 30 years and will retire on Dec 31,2008.Don't agree with everything the UAW does but can't stand it when people put us UAW members down for trying to make a decent living.Most people have no clue what our pay and benefits are and what it is like to work on the assembly line. I love to work on my Jeep Wrangler's and try to help other people with their Wrangler's.If you need any help with your Wrangler please e-mail me.

  • Rising oil prices,why doesn't Obama fix it?

    We have oil prices rising so why doesn't Obama do something about this,he complained when the insurance companies where raising their premiums?The rising oil prices will hurt the economy,and he thinks more drilling will help when the oil companies are actually leaving oil in the ground because there is too much oil.

  • Will the health care bill cause companies to cut jobs?

    John Deere and Caterpillar have announced that the health care bill will cost them $150 million for JD and $100 million for Cat,won't this cause job cuts?These are not the only companies who are affected,many other companies have said they will be forced to pay millions more with the health care bill.

    Sorry,but forcing companies to pay millions isn't the right way to fund health care.I can't wait to see when taxes will be raised on the middle class.I don't believe the wealthy should be taxed higher either,just because they make good money shouldn't give the government a right to steal it from them to pay other people's health care.

    The best way to fund it is with a consumption tax so everyone pays.

  • Why did the Democrats kill a health care bill in 1974?

    In 1974 Nixon introduced a health care bill to Congress and the Democrat's led by Edward Kennedy killed the bill.Later Kennedy said it was the biggest mistake of his career,so why have they decided now to push a health care bill through Congress.

  • Hoping for a 1000 point loss Friday!?

    I hope the people that made me lose my job at Chrysler lose a lot of money Friday.I will lose my job,house, and pension thanks to a lot of ignorant Americans.The UAW isn't the cause of the auto companies failure,it is the trade laws and tax laws.Japan can import all the cars it wants and gets a 19% tax break or a 19% profit before the car is sold.Detroit exports a car to Japan and there is a 19% value tax added and we can only have 3% of the Japan market,free trade?

    So please if you have any stocks sell them Friday because they will be worthless after 1 or more of these companies go belly up and unemployment is over 10%.

  • Auto bill failed,how much do you think the dow will drop Friday?

    The auto bill failed,I believe the dow will drop around 700 points Friday.If one of these companies fail we are in for a deep recession,I know a lot of people here in Toledo,OH that may have to walk away from their homes.

    I guess that's what everyone wants so we may get to see a depression firsthand soon

  • Senators & Congress want cuts from UAW,what about them?

    The Senators and Congress want cuts from the UAW,but isn't the US Government in financial trouble too?So will these Senators and Congressman takes cuts in pay and pension?

    The UAW has given concessions and will take over the health care fund which employees have been paying into each week.I'm not opposed to a pay cut within reason but the Senators and Congressman could lead by example.If they would take a 10% cut I would be alright with a 10% cut.

    Is this too much to ask of them?

  • Senator Shelby opposes auto loans?

    Senator Shelby from Alabama opposes the auto loans for the Detroit 3,but isn't it ironic that the state of Alabama has given some foreign automakers over $800 million since 1993 to locate in Alabama?Now isn't this a form of a bailout?Or maybe re is receiving a kickback from the foreign automakers to try to get the loans for the Detroit 3 blocked?

  • Obama to take from the rich and give to the poor?

    Do you think Obama's tax plan is good?With his plan the poor will not pay social security tax but raise the tax on people who make more then $250,000.Now I don't make that much money but I will still pay a lot of ss tax(around $7000 per year the last couple of years) and feel this isn't right.Social security was never meant to be a welfare program but a program that you pay into,with Obama's plan social security will soon be broke.
