Forty million people who don't have any healthcare insurance at all would collectively borrow billions of dollars so the GM workers can keep making $82 an hour and have gold-plated, no cost health insurance?
Like I said...RIDICULOUS!

Just because it's ridiculous doesn't mean the companies (and unions) won't ask for (and soon demand) the money. Congressfolk scared of alienating that constituency will bend towards spending other-people's-money with the hope that those ticked off will have short memories.
Silly, isn't it?
