Do you ever wonder why Republicans seem to whine more about GM than the far greater tax dollars given to banksters? It's a very revealing example of the right wings priorities to pander to the elite and fight a war against the middle class. If you aren't part of the elite, I don't know why you'd be on their side.

I think I saw you criticizing someone on another thread for making generalizations. It seems you are the king of that.
GM=liberal
Ford=Conservative?
Got anything to back that up?
As opposed to Dems pandering to unions?
Do banks have unions?
lol @ "the right" fighting a war against the middle class. If the dems and unions get their way the middle class will disappear far quicker than if the repubs could get their way.
Either way, the middle class is doomed the way we're going.

This is incredibly true, especially in any segment that faces overseas competition.
There is one and only one way to increase real wages and benefits to the middle class: Increase the demand for their labor. The libs are destroying demand at a record pace, but the republicans haven't put anything on the table that will save them either. Republican plans might slow the death of the middle class, but I don't see how we fix the mess we're in.
You turn to an ad-hominem attack because you have nothing intelligent to add? I expect more from you, and from your "apolitical bros"
i fail to see what is intelligent about calling CW a bobbing headed ditto head, accusing others of racism for not liking obama (plunky), or calling political ideology different than yours faux noise or whatever the fuk you call it.
you got spanked a little here, learn from it and move on

Libs don't learn, they stick to their mantra. Even in the face of Barry's indisputable failure, they still make excuses for him.
Conservatives learned from Iraq that nation-building is far harder and more expensive (in terms of lives and $$$) than we thought. So now we adapt.
Similarly, conservatives are realizing that our next big war won't be tanks rolling over a battlefield (a la WWII). Nor will it be nuclear (a la The Cold War). It won't even be terrorist-driven (a la 9/11). The new battlefront is economic.
So what do we need to do?
1) Raise our revenues which means make the US business-friendly again. That means fewer taxes, torts and regulation. And for the libtards who think we can simply raise taxes instead, try this first: Go sell your house for 250% of market value. If it's all just a matter of pricing (taxing), then lead the way by showing us how you can simply raise the price of something (i.e. operating in the US) and still sell it. Our tax code is already priced out of the global market. Raising it more will only make a bad thing worse.
2) Restructure our liabilities. The Medicare/SS mess we have right now is no different than Kodak being slowly dragged-down by commitments it simply can't afford to keep.
3) Prepare for the next big war, which is economic. In our weakened state, China and Russia don't need to build a single tank, carrier, rifle or bomb. They just need to let us slowly wind-down while they don't repeat our foolish mistakes (which ironically, are just a repeat of Europe's foolish mistakes but we clearly didn't learn from their lesson.)
