Throw taxpaying workers to the wolves, then arrive in D.C. via private corporate jets to ask for taxpayers to bail them out

With execs like that, is it any wonder American Auto Makers are in need of cash?

"Big Three CEOs Flew Private Jets to Plead for Public Funds

The CEOs of the big three automakers flew to the nation's capital yesterday in private luxurious jets to make their case to Washington that the auto industry is running out of cash and needs $25 billion in taxpayer money to avoid bankruptcy.

No bail out for these clowns. The industry, maybe, but ONLY if the execs are taken out of their jobs, have their perks and pay cut off, and are forced to turn over their own assets to the floundering companies. New management, responsible and answerable to Congress before one dime of worker-paid tax dollers to these weasels. They should not be living large while throwing taxpayers out of work and expecting them to also write big checks.

Fuck 'em. New management or no bailout.

Fleets of private corporate jets indeed! Money junkies. Send them to rehab. NOW
