Editor and everyone else: I unlike the rest of the people in America do not believe that my car should last no ten years and the warranty thing is bull. No company not even the foreign car companies give a “full ten year warranty”. Read the fine print. I like other Americans do buy GM and the only reason I do this; is because I feel that they build a really good car.
I feel that we need to help out the people in this area and pay for the retirees. You have to remember these Unions were a lot larger in the 1970’s and they had to employ large numbers of people to build these cars. They (Unions) did raise the wages and the benefits that we have today.
We all have to remember too, that the creditors that GM and Delphi owed money too; did not want to for go the amount that GM owed them. There were plenty of articles after the Company went bankrupt that the creditors did not believe the GM Corporation. That is why they ended up in this position now. You need to look at all the parts suppliers that went out of business after the bankruptcies were completed. Most of this information is protected, but if you pay some money you can get it.
One last thing, the parts that are in the GM car that you demand quality is the same parts in the Honda, Toyota, and Hyundai cars. Like I said if you are willing to pay you can find out all kinds of things.
One last thing, if you are sick of paying for GM, then the best thing for you and your friends to do is go out and buy a GM car. It is that easy. GM has to pay off the loan and the best way to repay it is if you help GM pay the government back.
I agree with both of you, on what is going on with the Health care bill. The Editor really painted a nice picture of the government sponsored health care systems, but how soon do we forget the Walter Reed Hospital ordeal, the Marines that now have Cancer because of the water they drank, and how many Doctors and Hospital Medicare and Medicaid do not pay. These are things that we as the taxpayer need to be looking at.
It is not the fact that everyone has health care, but everyone can get affordable Health care. The rest of the world now has the jobs that the Country once had and believe me the Party that is now in power will not stop these jobs from leaving either. That is how the rest of the world is paying for the health care in there Country; off the goods that the “Fat Americans” are buying. This Country needs to get away from the Green agenda and put pressure on the places that are producing the goods (China, Mexico, and South Korea) to limit the green house gases in there Country. They also need to go pressure Governments that clear cut Forest and Rain Forest.
One last thing this Nation needs to learn how to plant a tree every three months too. They do it in Korea and in the Far East. We might want to tell Al Gore that we can solve Global warming and not even spend 100 billion dollars to do it. “Plant a tree that is a green program that will work.”
ksnann, Sounds like you wish you had a job on the McDonald school board. That is what it sounds like to me.
All I can say is that I could have seen this coming about three years ago. The reason that I say this is because of the new school that the community built and all the problems they had with getting that done.
The way that they can solve this is for all the small communities to close their schools and send them to the larger schools. What this will do is lower the taxes and the stress on the tax payers. It is sad to see a great school district come up short like this.
Well, Obama will help them out. He is a big supporter of Education lets have U.S. Rep. Tim Ryan, and U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown ask him? I forgot there is never any money to help out the schools in this part of Ohio or even getting jobs in to this area.
What about that salary for the new treasurer and the Lawyer for the state? That is $80,000 right there. What concept I am broke but let me charge you a million dollars to help you out.
I would say that Jim had a person that wanted him out of Washington Politics. I can say that Jim has done more for this area then Tim Ryan has in the two terms that he has been in. I do not know if Jim will run for a term again but I am sure that Washington will not like it if the people elect him again. I plan on going to the dinner for Jim and I can tell you that I hope that he can school Ryan on how to handle the people in Washington. I am very active in politics with Washington and they no longer see us as a threat or to help pass any bill that might need to go through. I think that we should have Jim run for his old job and let Washington fear us again..
hellsbells, search4answers got it right. The facts are that it has happens in your governmental offices in the federal and state level jobs. They all have an underlying affirmative action policy.
I feel that this is going to be a really big issue in the coming months. I hope that we will not be reliving the 1960's all over again.
We have European nations looking at US; for how far we have moved past the race issue in American. I think that we have made the problem worst; I am afraid to say.
I have seen a lot of people feel that they should be up for promotion and that were more then qualified get passed over in my time.. The only reason that they did not get promoted was because of the numbers.. Now look at what it did for this area and this Country. God help us all!!!
abtech, I feel that is you do not remember the days when Martin Luther King JR. was alive? If so you would not remember him saying: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." I am sure that you care about what he did for US. I worked myself out the poor side of Youngstown. I had a great career in the service. I retired out as a LTC. In the United States Army and remember passing up more decorated and qualified white Officers for promotion. Abtech, we can not hold our short coming on the heads of the majority in America anymore; we control everything now. We have the White House, Congress, the Senate, music industry, and the entertainment industry. We now need to do something about it.
I do agree with you, on that Affirmative Action does falls under the constitution. As far as, the comment about "congress shall enact laws to offset the institutions and LEGACY of slavery." I do not remember that in Law School. As far as, guidance goes it states “Since the 1970s Americans have tended to agree about the constitutionality and justice of guaranteeing equality of civil rights and liberties to all individuals in the United States, regardless of race, ethnicity, or gender.” This also would address issue of affirmative action to remedy the effects of past discrimination against racial minorities and women. If the whites do become the minorities they will be entitled to these benefits.
Abtech, we need to work with everybody, to ensure that we make this area better for everyone. I do not want to have the younger generation; to live the hard life that I have lived. I will be going to Africa for a seven month vacation for the winter. Take care and go do great things.
Stan, I agree with you on ths one. We need to bring the Gmen back in from the 1920's to clean out the criminals in Youngstown. If it means death to the criminal so be it. These drug deals and the other support systems that they have has not helped the area out one bit.. Look what is going on with Mexico the past couple of months. What we need is the GMEN to clean house. They got the mafia under control and now it is dead to the area for good. (FBI issue July edition) I am sure they control the drugs in the area too. I feel that they have the right to shot if they are shoot at. Even if the ALCU has a problem with it then we need to send them down to Mexico for a week or so. The police are the law and the law has to be respected.. If they do not have repect then no one fears the law.. Robert Neville
abtech, I just want to say that capitalism does work. Let me give you some examples: Mr. Polk, Andrew and Hitchman, Andrew Carnegie, Oprah Winfrey, DeShawn Snow, and others. The list goes on and on. Abtech I want to refer you too an article; that was published by an author in Africa. He talks about the Slave trade. The author is Tunde Obadina. He said a quote about writer James Baldwin. The quote is: "The past is what makes the present coherent," said Afro-American writer James Baldwin, and the past "will remain horrible for exactly as long as we refuse to assess it honestly."
Now here is what he wrote about the slave trade. Estimates of the total human loss to Africa over the four centuries of the transatlantic slave trade range from 30 million to 200 million. At the initial stage of the trade parties of Europeans captured Africans in raids on communities in the coastal areas. But this soon gave way to buying slaves from African rulers and traders. The vast majority of slaves taken out of Africa were sold by African rulers, traders and a military aristocracy who all grew wealthy from the business. Most slaves were acquired through wars or by kidnapping. The Portuguese Duatre Pacheco Pereire wrote in the early sixteenth century after a visit to Benin that the kingdom "is usually at war with its neighbours and takes many captives, whom we buy at twelve or fifteen brass bracelets each, or for copper bracelets, which they prize more." Olaudah Equiano, an ex-slave, described in his memoirs published in 1789 how African rulers carried out raids to capture slaves.
After I read this I was thinking about who was to blame. I only thing that popped into my mind was the African Chief. I think that we as a people need to move past this point. The Americans now are not the ones that enslaved the Slaves. We have to remember we elected the first Black President. The next question as affirmative action progresses is this. What do we do when the white race is no longer the majority in America? This will be happing in about five years from now. That means do we give them the same rights that people who receive the benefits from Affirmative Action now or do we just keep the inequality from them for the next hundred years? I think we need to address these issues now not five years down the road.
