.

By Roger Bybee

As rescue attempts go, the Obama administration and its Auto Task Force are pursuing a peculiar course: They seem intent on keeping General Motors and Chrysler afloat as corporate entities by tossing more U.S. workers overboard.

    There is only one solution to this crisis in the auto and steel industries… nationalize the entire industries and bring them under public ownership and control with workers dominating the decision-making process.

    Nothing less will save jobs.

    We need to consider the socialist alternative to capitalism.

    A question that is being asked all over these days is:

    How long can capitalism last?

    The answer is simple:

    As long as working people are willing to put up with this crap.

    Obama is Wall Street’s president and no friend of the people… when people figure this out the real struggles for social and economic justice, along with peace will begin to shape the future of our country.

    I have some ideas about how to go about starting… I would like to hear the ideas of others.

    You are dead right Alan.

    You are right - he is no friend to the people even though thats his image he developed for himself. The aim at all this stuff is to separate the rich from the poor. They do this but slowly knocking out jobs for the middle class…just like they are doing right now.

    Indeed, we know that auto industry is in distress for almost many years and that almost all of them too, had a recall wherein there lost the customers satisfaction and safeness, thus, lowers there service level. But come to think of it, females appear to be taking on more of the traditional male roles in society and gaining more and more power, likely because of our economic downturn. The exact same applies for ladies within the auto sales world. Recently an article was published that women are making more sales than men, likely due to the fact females are making more purchasing decisions in the home period.

    I found this here: Women in auto sales: Smashing the testosterone barrier

    What is interesting isn’t that a lot more women are getting auto loans and getting cars, it is that they are also selling more automobiles to men than a male salesman.

    There would really be a different views about this.. Either Obama is the bad guy or for some capitalist, He is just a savior. But what about for the part of automotive industries. What’s in their mind after this? As for me, motor industries never left their consumers off handed. Recalls, recalls, recalls.. I have been always involved with this after three years.. everything i have faulty parts. One is this Steering Shift Tube Bushing, which always been faulty.. But as a citizen, I would agree with alan. That’s all.
