We can’t grow the economy without health care reform

Thanks for the training funds, but we’d rather have the jobs

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I have to give credit to local UAW leaders Shield and Ackerman for expressing their anger and dissappoint to Car Czar Montgomery and Senator McCaskill.  While not the biggest supporter of unions and believe that they share in the blame of Amercian car companies…

About as un-American as you can get

St. Louis Post-Dispatch
I wonder if Chrysler is using our stimulous money for the wrong things. How many politicians did they buy with it?? They must own some of them.

Maybe Fidel won’t live to see this ‘normalized’ future

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

All we ask: Enforce existing trade laws

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

The costs of greed are many

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Americans have had our wages stagnated for 25+ years now. We have been able to get by, in great part, by the cheap products that have been imported from the developing countries around the world. We have gotten to reap…

Don’t blame foreign car makers for our problem
