let's just freeze auto workers pay for "a time to be determined," like maybe, oh, forever? Maybe the pay could be minimum wage, maybe foreign workers could be brought in on work visas and paid sub-minimum wages, live in the factories, and states and counties could feed and provide health care for them, maybe we don't need an auto industry, maybe some other Country - say China can make all our cars, trucks and military vehicles, like they do our food and clothes.

American taxpayers bailed out the airline industry, we're bailing out wall street hogs, and greedy poorly run insurance giants and banks, but no way can we lend - and that's what the auto industry is asking for, a loan - companies that employ pesky labor union employees who work for living wages and benefits.

Cut CEO's pay - yes; cut workers pay and benefits - no!
