While Nancy Pelosi pushes for the Bailout of the Big 3, I ask myself what side of her BED OF NAILS she got up on. Let me explain. If the Big 3 gets bailed out business will continue same as usual until they need more (and they will need more). While bankruptcy doesn't mean loss of jobs, it simply lets companies undergo restructuring, trimming fat (overpaid CEO'S, EXCESSIVE BONUSES and the death grip of the UAW). This is why the laws of bankruptcy were put in place (to save the jobs). By going through this process, the Big 3 would be able to put their products out on the market cheaper giving Americans the opportunity to buy AMERICAN MADE AUTOS at competitive pricing. Isn't that the goal? Back to Nancy Pelosi. In Jan 2007 when the minimum wage went from 5.15 to 7.25, Pelosi had American Samoa exempted from the increase so Del Monte would not have to pay the higher wage. This would make Del Monte products less expensive than their competitor's. Pelosi's district is San Francisco StarKist (owned by Del Monte Foods) headquartered in San Francisco StarKist is the major employer in American Somoa employing 75% of the Samoa workforce. Paul Pelosi, Nancy's husband owns $17,000,000 in StarKist stock. So on one side she wants to shell out Billions of dollars to protect the policies of the UAW and BAD MANAGEMENT of the BIG 3, but on the other side she suppresses wages of workers making minimum wage for her personal gains. I guess Pelosi's outlook is keep t he minimum wage tuna packer with nothing and the UAW and CEO'S of the Big 3 out pricing their own products and employees giving foreign completion more advantages daily. She is the PERFECT reason why politicians are viewed as WHORES. If the people of her district re-elect her another term then I feel that whole district should undergo treatment.
