Democrats Hate American Auto Workers?

Since the workers at America's "Big 3" domestic automakers cast their votes in our recent national election, Democrats seem to have forgotten about their economic fate. Given the millions the UAW has pumped into electing their endorsee to the White House and propping up the Democrat majorities in the Congress, it's fascinating to watch them leave Detroit to fend for themselves.

America's autoworkers are witnessing the politically equivalent of having been "kept."

UAW union bosses find themselves caught in the proverbial Catch-22. Do they defend Democrats neglect and auto-industry hate or admit they lost their influence. Forget the rhetoric and look at reality: The Volvo-driving Sierra Club wing of the Democrat Party has a stronger hand in this deal.

Meanwhile, President-elect Barack Obama has been busy stocking his future-Administration with retreads from Clinton's past. Bill Clinton, that is, the one who signed NAFTA into law. Amidst the continued media-love affair and soap-opera drama of Obama's messianic approach to Inauguration, he's taken time to issue sharp criticism's of America's "Big 3." Especially their jet riding CEOs. Although his top advisors have doubted if there is anything that taxpayers can do to save the industry if they can't "retool."

Come on autoworkers, retool! It's the American thing to do. Or so chides the Democrats who were strangely silent in their concerns about "retooling" when it came to the Wall Street bailout.

Apparently, Democrats care more about scrutinizing loans than straight-out give-aways.

The big mouths in the Congressional Democrat leadership have really piled on the Detroit hate. Their rigid ideological environmentalism has put the Rustbelt's steel and coal industry on its deathbed and now it has the opportunity to watch another nemesis go down.

Detroit's "Big 3" have till Tuesday to present their plan. Congressional watchers predict a House committee may act by the week's end and the Senate the following week.

The UAW's political Party is demonstrating a far more intense level of accountability and transparency when it comes to the American autoworker's job than it did when it came to the pay and perks of the Wall Street investors, bankers and real estate brokers across the USA. Apparently we need to update political lore – the political curmudgeons of the uber-rich, bankers and investors is not the Party of Abe Lincoln rather the jackass.

When central planning doesnt''t pick your job to save you can always thank the politically more connected.
