I recall Sinator Vitter speaking on the floor of Senate about something being "ass-backwards." Well, perhaps the good Sinator oughta get his own logic right, as his belief that the American automaker is crumbling right now solely because of the "$75 an hour they pay their workers" is being tested by news that Toyota is closing their JAPANESE plants.
Toyota announced today that it will stop production at all TWELVE plants in Japan for ELEVEN days in February and March, in addition to a THREE day shutdown this month.
Could the troubles that the American automakers be facing due to the credit crunch and our crumbling economy in addition to the wasteful health care system we have WAY more than the salaries paid to their unionized workforce? Hmmm, you betcha, Sinator ;)!
