Why not worry about the other 95% of the labor force?
I am not worried about either. How could the union cause so much trouble with only 5%?

Actually they are about 7-8% of the private labor force. When I entered the work force they were about 23%. If you factor in government employees they amount to about 12%. They ":cause so much trouble" because they are a Democrat protected class of labor that contributes much to the DNC, hence they have political clout way our of proportion to their actual numbers. You realize of course that the auto bailout is all about saving those union contracts...not about saving the auto makers, if it was, the government would allow them to go into bankruptcy so they can reorganize their business and re-structure those unsustainable contracts.
Actually the libs don't argue with me because I've actually been telling them to go fuck off as impolitely as possible so all that's left respondent are the irrational loons and trolls.

I am sure private jets and crap designs had nothing to do with the industries' downfall.

I'm up for a debate on any subject you feel competent discussing.

miles told you this guy is a piece of shit, and this morning he's setting new lows, even for him when it comes to devoted and dedicated trolling...
He's not here to converse, he's here to take out his frustrations. He used to blame it on Bush, now he's flush with victory and proving we were right all along, he's purely and simply and man consumed with hate, just like LT.
Maybe he should run for local office. Start small, like the school board.

Davis went on to say in his talk that while government officials marketed the program as a way to entice banks to lend again, TARP actually was designed to give solid banks like U.S. Bancorp some extra cash to buy weaker banks in the system. U.S. Bancorp did just that late last year when it acquired the assets of two failed banks in California, Downey Savings and Loan and PFF Bank & Trust.
"We were told to take it so that we could help Darwin synthesize the weaker banks and acquire those and put them under different leadership," he said. "We are not even allowed to mention that. ... We were supposed to say the TARP money was used for lending."
But Davis is talking about it now, he says, because he and others oppose current and future strings attached to the program. Davis didn't detail those strings, but he said he and some peers intend to voice their opinions to Washington, D.C., soon.
"Now they're punishing you for having the capital," he said, adding that he refuses to stand by and let his company become "collateral damage" in an attempt to nationalize the banks.
Davis touted U.S. Bancorp as a strong player in a weak industry, but also gave props to local competitors Wells Fargo & Co., TCF Financial Corp. and Bremer Financial.
