Well every one has heard that General Motors CEO Rick Wagner was told to leave by President Obama.
Weather or not that was right thing to do is hard to say at this time. I know from working in the auto industry that hourly get blamed for a lot that goes wrong in the plants. When they have management not even understanding what the problems are on the floor. When I first started working in G.M. the foreman’s had to be able to replace all the people in there section, but know some of them don’t have a clue how to do anything. People in the auto industry work hard ya there some gravy jobs, but not many. I have 30 years and only 49 years old to young to retire. There closing the plant I work at by Dec. 2009 or sooner. A lot of people in this plant don’t know what to do, weather to move or try to take some kind of retirement if they can! The people of United States have got to realize that the auto industry is a big part of America. I’m not just talking about the Big 3, but all the other little shops to that supply other parts. They say the American cars can’t compete with foreign cars that’s were people are wrong. The only way foreign cars are cheaper is that they don’t have all the tariffs on them they should.
I guess what I’m trying to say in a nut shell is that America can not make it on just low paying jobs for most of public. We need manufacturing done in the United States. We need the middle class, other countries are trying to get their. We seem to be going back wards. I remember after 9-11 that people cared what happen to one another. We need to stand together know and get back on are feet. No it is not going to be easy, but what in life is. Like the song says proud to be American. Like the tin sign above with its red white and blue. I am proud to be American. We have choices here where you don’t in other countries. I guess I choice here, where I can make choices and run my own life.
