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.

My "garbage" insurance has a lifetime maximum payout of $5 million dollars. I'd say that should cover a whole lot. Not to mention it is a PPO, not an HMO. And $600 for a ghetto apartment!? Wow.. I paid $750 for a luxury 2 bedroom before I bought my house. My mortgage isn't much more then that $750 either!
