Here's my solution... The government/public take over all of the Auto industry's current retiree commitments including pensions and medical etc. then tell the auto industry you are on you're own. Sink or swim.

Poll finds Obama more popular than his stimulus package - CNN.com

This really echos what I see from people I know and meet lately. Even people who clearly state they did not vote for him, to a person they feel Obama is "good people" and they hope he is successful even if they do not exactly think his priorities match up to theirs.

Seeded on Tue Jan 6, 2009 10:02 AM EST (Wall Street Journal)

U.S. deaths in Iraq down 66 percent from last year

So much for gun control advocates. Here in Chicago where it is illegal to own a handgun, 500 people were killed in 2008. In Iraq where there are armies of people with guns, only 309 US service members have been killed. I guess its not really the guns now is it?

Good. The air travel industry for too long has been allowed to act with impunity in their own best interests. We need at least two more major US carriers to disappear in order for the airlines to start getting it again.

Auto Workers Should Never Have been Offered Pensions but Companies Should Never Be Able to Shirk Pension Responsibilities

Seeded on Fri Nov 21, 2008 7:07 PM EST (CNN)

Working in a factory is not the kind of job that merits guaranteed retirement. On the other hand a company should have to sell every last wrench, plane or desk before being allowed to walk away from their pension responsibilities.
