Ebeling) said that the UAW workers average about $81/hr when all things were considered, while the auto workers in the South totaled about $35/hr. Later that same evening, on another show, another economist (Dr. Peter Morici), said they made about the same. Now, I don't know if he was talking base wage or what the hell or if he doesn't know what he's talking about! The first was on Jerry Doyle and the second on Jim Bohannon.

She has a vested interest in keeping these people happy, not so much keeping the auto makers afloat. So the best solution would be to bail out the workers directly, cut out the middle man and save taxpayers the difference. Perhaps these same workers could be persuaded to stay home or fill their time with other activities for, say, two-thirds of what they make now. <i>You say you want a revolution Well you know We'd all want to change the world...</i> If we're gonna have a revolution, let's at least have a green revolution. Pelosi will simplify life for herself as soon as she realizes the Detroit auto makers are merely the conduit through which union auto workers receive compensation (in amounts that–including wages, health care, and pensions–currently average over 72 dollars an hour.)

You say you want a revolution
Well you know
We’d all want to change the world…

If we’re gonna have a revolution, let’s at least have a green revolution.
