I have to pay for the first $2300 in expenses, so I save that much in a savings account in case I have to use it (about $200 a month). What happened to people taking responsibility for things like this? Why is it ok to spend $400+ a month on a car payment, but people are unwilling to pay $300 a month for health insurance and that savings account? Some people pay $130 a month for cable, and that's ok, no one demands universal cable coverage (yet), but they demand UNLIMITED health insurance for FREE. It just isn't right or American.

What happens when your child has lukemia? Your garbage insurance only works when you do not get sick or need it. $12 per hour? Wow what a great life this guy is got. That means he will take home about $1,200 per month. $600 per month for his piece of crap ghetto apartment, $100 for gas and electric, $100 for cell & cable & phone, $100 per month to keep his 94 astro minivan on the road, $100 per month for auto insurance, and $200 left over to feed him and his family? Get real.
What American Axle is doing to their employees is criminal. Could your parents survive on half thier income? Could they have sent you to college? Did they take you on a nice vacation once a year when you were young? Did they have at least one new car every few years? Did you grow up in a nice nieghborhood? Did they schools you attended have a large percentage of kids that went on to college?
You union bashers just don't get it.
