The only "zero" I've seen is the collective idiocy of the Big 3. In the past, I've thought that no one could rival pharma and /or insurance execs for pure arrogrance...well, maybe bankers...but these automakers are working hard to prove me wrong.
Sadly, they're not working nearly as hard to make products that a human would want.
The bailout is already opposed by a majority of people. And revelations like the one you discussed merely weaken their already tenuous position. My hope is that Obama will either:
1) Refuse a bailout, or
2) Offer a bailout with many requirements and restrictions
I suspect it will be latter, but given his stand on environmentalism and alternative energies, I can't seem him permitting the companies to return to business as usual.
It's a repulsive situation. On the one side you have greedy, irresponsible companies. On the other you have grossly overpaid union workers. Neither is willing to make substantive changes that would improve the industry.
You suits oversee the making of poor quality, overpriced products, and have done virtually nothing to minimize the impact of you vehicles on the earth.
You union workers assemble poor quality, overpriced products while earning, on average, far too much money. $73/ hr loaded? Seriously? Not to mention the employee grant fund and other ridiculous perks.
$1,500 more PER CAR than the Japanese companies. And by the way, their cars don't suck.
How can you possibly justify that? No, wait- it's worse. Not only do you justify it, you want taxpayers to pay YOU to continue doing it.
If I had any say in the matter, I'd be telling you to watch you ass on the way out. You're own behavior and attitude has totally queered the deal in my book.
