Hate To Say It...

But I saw this coming a mile away. You give free money to someone, and of course they're going to blow throw it and need more.

Of course, it doesn't help that it costs General Motors $1,635 per car to support the health care of all those union workers (past and present!) on the payroll. To compare, Toyota, a company that's actually doing halfway wellthese days, only has to spend $235 on current workers' health care, and--here's a shocking idea--doesn't pay workers' health care when they're not working! Then again, Toyota isn't beholden to the UAW like GM is, so of course Toyota is actually going to be allowed to be profitable.

Again, it's stuff like this that makes me feel like I'm Gulliver living with the Yahoos. Trying something over and over again and expecting different results is a sign of mental illness. Or liberalism. Or was that redundant?
