"Gleaming new Mercedes cars roll one by one out of a huge container ship here and onto a pier. Ordinarily the cars would be loaded on trucks within hours, destined for dealerships around the country. But these are not ordinary times.

For now, the port itself is the destination. Unwelcome by dealers and buyers, thousands of cars worth tens of millions of dollars are being warehoused on increasingly crowded port property.

And for the first time, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, and Nissan have each asked to lease space from the port for these orphan vehicles. They are turning dozens of acres of the nation's second-largest container port into a parking lot, creating a vivid picture of a paralyzed auto business and an economy in peril."

He would of course  be wrong

Lets talk about the KKKenTX debunked 70 dollars an hr bull shit

"The average GM assembly-line worker makes about $28 per hour in wages, and I can assure you that GM is not paying $42 an hour in health insurance and pension plan contributions. Rather, the $70 per hour figure (or $73 an hour, or whatever) is a ridiculous number obtained by adding up GM's total labor, health, and pension costs, and then dividing by the total number of hours worked. In other words, it includes all the healthcare and retirement costs of retired workers.

The reason the US and Japanese companies have different total costs for their American workers?  The US companies have been employing American workers for almost a hundred years.  They have a lot of retirees.  Most of the Japanese auto plants in the US are less than 20 years old.  They have almost no retirees, so their costs are only for active workers.  "

and again KKKentx would be wrong

Lets talk about why the brain dead parrot is even posting  that debunked bull shit to begin with.

The easy answer is because Rush Limbaugh told him to..  but why is Limbaugh using false numbers?

"First, it demonizes unions and their members as greedy and not interested in the long-term health and profitability of the corporations with which they sign contracts.  It also ignores the fact that in 2007 the UAW signed a landmark contract in which they assumed future responsibility for healthcare for their members employed by the Big Three.  The auto companies paid in to a fund, which will be administered by the UAW.  Over the long haul, this is expected to radically decrease the auto companies' legacy costs (although the best way to help company and union is to pass national health care).  

Making false claims inflating the earnings of unionized workers is also part of the Republicans' long-held practice of class warfare.  It's intended to gin up envy and disgust at people making a good hourly wage.  Few people would be unsympathetic to an auto worker for making $58,000 per year.  But more would feel unsympathetic if they thought that same auto worker made $73 per hour, which over the course of a year is over $150,000.  

Finally, harping on imaginary and inflated wages for workers is a way to distract from one of the big problems with the US auto companies (and most US corporations in any sector): executive compensation.  For instance, in 2007 General Motors CEO Rick Waggoner made close to $20 million in total compensation.  

Are you surprised that conservatives are playing with math to come up with the false figure of $73 per hour for UAW members working at the Big Three, while saying nothing about a Big Three CEO making $9,500.00 per hour?"

I didnt bother typing much, trolls arent really worth it and all KenTroll does is parrot someone elses horse shit anyway. There is so much info on the net to debunk KKKenTX .  I found most of the above right at Daily Kos.

The truth is a mean bitch and she is wearing a 10 inch dildo  Ken Troll.

That $70 an hour number has been debunked a million ways from Sunday. They even had a segment about it on the TYT show.

That number is BS. Get with the program and keep up on current events. 

and doesn't even come CLOSE to $70 an hour including benefits, but I'm sure your Murdoch paper is right and your average joe auto worker makes $75.

No one is buying it, but please keep demonizing the most celebrated American industry, keep smearing a President-Elect with a 70%+ popularity rating with ridiculous guilt by association attacks, and keep backing Sarah Palin.  We will all enjoy watching Republicans destroy their own party.
