Dante Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Good insight on the UAW I guess stalling?? http://townhall.com/columnists/LawrenceKud...iness?page=full Gdamn I hope they don't end up bailing these aholes out. Methinks the Democrats will though.
SD Jarhead Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Very insightful article. Thanks for posting. Let's see how the Union apologists feel about this. What a travesty this whole situation is. It's really a shame.
molson_golden2002 Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Kudlow is a right wing string puppet Would you rather keep these people working in jobs that already exist, at least for now, or would you rather find them new jobs--good luck with that? Because unemployment hurts all of us in the larger scheme of things

molson_golden2002 Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 I'd rather not pour my grandchildren's money into a failed business model. And I do not disagree with your basic premise, but blowing this all up now is asking for trouble, IMO.
SD Jarhead Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 When are we going to take our medicine? The longer we avoid the chemo to avoid 'feeling sick' the worse the cancer gets.

In the middle of the worst economic crisis is 80 years seems like a bad to to me I dunno, you might be right though. Just get it over with now. I dunno

Because unemployment hurts all of us in the larger scheme of things I have not heard anyone object to the basic premise: that the UAW torpedoed the plan by refusing to agree to a 2009 date for their consessions. How would the 'CEO $1 compensation' advocates feel about a CEO who agreed to it in principal, perhaps starting in a few years, but with no committment on a date?
pBills Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 I'd rather not pour my grandchildren's money into a failed business model. You already are with the bailout money going to some of financial institutions.

Because unemployment hurts all of us in the larger scheme of things You mean because if the Big 3 go bankrupt, all the sudden there won't be any more cars made in America? No one could possibly step in and meet the demand? That reorganization couldn't possibly have greater long term benefit to America than the ponzi scheme cooked up by your masters to prop up hideously bloated organizations with blood from the sweat of working citizens? It's good to know that you're still a complete idiot with no concept of the big picture.
Tux of Borg Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 No one could possibly step in and meet the demand? I'm all about the E7 - Police Cruiser of the future.
Alaska Darin Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 I'm all about the E7 - Police Cruiser of the future. We were checking that out at work the other day. Looks pretty awesome. Hard to believe no one from Detroit could come up with something so forward thinking. How 'bout we just rebadge another Crown Vic? I think the coolest part is the prisoner compartment, complete with cuff cutout and easy to fasten seat belts.
pBills Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 That has to be most ridiculous looking car I have ever seen. Maybe not ever seen, but it's bad.
Dante Posted December 18, 2008 Author Posted December 18, 2008 so you believe that sen.corker is 100% right . Keep drinking the koolaid . He makes sense. I believe him. Actually glad I read the article. Corker may be a good candidate after the Obama/Democrat deal goes for a crap the next 4 years.

I think the coolest part is the prisoner compartment, complete with cuff cutout and easy to fasten seat belts. Detroit could never build anything as innovated as the E7. The crown vic is starting to lose its dominance in the police field because of lack of change. The backseat is a great example, the crown vic has very little room in the back seat. You have to lean over the suspect to seatbelt him in. After you get to the jail you have to take apart the back seat to search for contraband that might have been left there. The E7 eliminates all these problems. I'm also a big fan of the incar tag reader added to the vehicle. The tag readers we have now are bulky and are mounted on the trunks of our vehicles.
Alaska Darin Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Price? The manufacturer has said it will be competitive with what the industry currently garners, though with it being a diesel engine it'll last a whole lot longer.

Most cops in our area drive the Dodge Charger.
pBills Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Plus, even though that matrix looking car may have some bells and whistles.... it would be expensive to run. Diesel is still pretty expensive.
