A Progressive Plan for the Automakers
| By Doug - Dec 19th, 2008 at 2:05 pm EST |
So President Bush isn't going to allow U.S. Automakers go bankrupt during his watch...
But under his plan, thousands of autoworker and auto-dependent jobs will still be lost. Surviving autoworkers are going to experience big pay cuts which was what the conservatives were hoping for.
People need to wake up to the fact that WAGES ARE WHAT DRIVE THE ECONOMY BECAUSE WAGES ARE THE SOURCE OF DEMAND. The U.S. will be a pauper nation if everyone ends up working for $10/hour.
What's needed is for the federal government to order a couple hundred thousand electric cars and trucks. Stipulate that the Automaker CEO's can keep their jobs if they can make sure that electric cars are rolling off the assembly lines in one year.
We could lower our dependency on foreign oil and keep gas prices down by converting Mail trucks and other government vehicles to electric power AND keep people working their jobs. Less carbon emmissions too. Win, win, win, win.
