Reply #8: it's a good editorial that deserves debate here at DU, but i think

they were just making a statement of fact.

i've noticed that this issue has had quite an impact on you. is this affecting you on a more personal level?

i agree with you that something is wrong with all of this, and it doesn't seem right that TARP goes to the greediest of the pigs, and yet magically the companies involving union labor get denied, but they aren't exactly innocent either.

corporate execs could have done much more in the last 20 yrs, and could have made much better decisions. this doesn't necessarily mean that they don't deserve a hand though, but it brings to question their ability to stay in the forefront of the auto-industry.

almost all my family and i are all union, education, iron-workers, pipe-fitters, and so on. i am on the side of the worker, but the execs have fucked this company good.
