Bullish U.S. Auto Industry Plans New Hiring
We are hearing from U.S. automakers that they are poised for growth, but are struggling with their ability to find the right people with the right technical skill sets for jobs they are looking to fill, Gary Silberg, KPMGs national automotive industry leader, said. This is becoming an increasing cause for concern, not just for auto companies, but for many companies in the manufacturing sector.
So, yeah, I guess "let Detroit go bankrupt" can fuck right off, huh? Also, note the bold.
Gee, think maybe it'd be a good idea to sink some money to training people for these jobs...like some kind of government help to get people trained to take all these jobs and get production back into the economy?
Damn it feels good to be a gangsta.

I wonder how long it will last since they can not make the sales without subprime loans being the primary finance vehicle.
Exactly. Why invest in our future?

It is almost amusing how willing you are to take other people's money and give it to the government to spend for them. That seems to be your answer for everything.
Speaking of gangstas, I bet Detroit is swamped with high school dropouts. No wonder the car companies can't find any talent.
If you want a job that pays, then it is incumbent upon you to acquire that training yourself. Stay in school.
Our primary and secondary schools, as I have said countless times, need to start educating our kids for the jobs of tomorrow, not the jobs of yesterday. The days of growing up to work in the same factory as your daddy are long gone.
The days of making bad decisions and then expecting the government to hand you a job and all the training you need at others' expense are just about over, too.
You, like a lot of Conservatives, are intellectually dishonest to a level of sheer brilliance. What do you call the Defense industry, g5000? They take my tax dollars and build bombs, guns, tanks, jets and other implements of death. I don't like that. But yet I have no choice. So why don't you quit with the "Boy, you sure are good at spending other people's money" bullshit. Your side has been doing it since the Cold War build up. It's called the Industrial Military Complex.
As for education, I couldn't agree more. We should be training our kids on new energy sources, and on new technologies. We should be encouraging science and math education, of course.
What do you think we spend more on: Corporate Welfare or "traditional" Welfare? Do we have to keep subsidizing the bad decisions of Corporations too?
It is precisely because we have stopped holding people accountable for their choices that we are now in the position of being held hostage by LOSERS.
We stopped letting high school dropouts fail, and we stopped letting banks that overleverage and take astronomical risks fail.
Christ, there are people who want to stop letting kids keep score on the sports field or receive an F in class.
This is bullshit.
The economy is wrecked because we have strayed far from our roots, and we have grown a MASSIVE class of government dependents at BOTH ends of the socioeconomic scale.
Time to wean all of them off the government tit. You drop out of high school, we let you sink. You fuck up your bank, you sink out of sight. Period.
You want to go all Obama on their asses, you tell them, "We built you a high school. We built you a central bank. The rest is on you."
I think all the Tea Baggers are (not surprisingly) missing the point:
I thought the economy was in the shit house and Obama was bad for business? And yet, here's a titan of the American economy telling us they're set to go on a hiring spree.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Not all Americans. Some of us could just write a check. But here in Grand Rapids, MI the most prominent radio station (WOOD 1300am, 106.9fm) runs ads every day from some bank or credit union touting car loans for folks who wouldn't normally qualify. No problem according to the ad, c'mon in we've got money for you. I couldn't believe it first time I heard it. It's like they've forgotten what happened lending money for homes to people not qualified under normal lending criteria. How long until these car buyers can't or won't repay? It's crazy.

I'll never buy a brand new car again....it's unbelievable how expensive they've gotten and they don't increase in value either! Nope, give me my 2002 Grand prix and i'm a happy camper.....not handing hundreds over to a bank every month!
And i bet this wave of hiring will only be temporary, that's probably why they can't find anyone to do it. And.....anyone can afford to go to school and learn a trade, there's loans available out there for that, people just need to take the time to look around. But they don't want to be strapped with the expense of paying it back so they do nothing. If the training were free to them i'm sure there would be a lot of people doing it, but if they have to pay for it they would rather sit on their ass and collect from the govt (and us taxpayers).

You don't like the government keeping our enemies from killing you? If it bothers you that much, im sure we could make arrangements for you...
Are stupid people still thinking that bankruptcy = liquidation?
Depends if you have a 7 or 13 type bankrupcy filed
so you are saying that Americans cannot afford to buy new cars unless subsidized by low interest rates?I wonder how long it will last since they can not make the sales without subprime loans being the primary finance vehicle.
It could be viewed that way. I cant say with any certainty why most of the sales are sub prime loans.
I guess the half price sale at the end of last year didnt generate enough sales..........
Are stupid people still thinking that bankruptcy = liquidation?
Depends if you have a 7 or 13 type bankrupcy filed
GM filed Chapter 11
General Motors Bankruptcy Filing
So again I ask, are stupid people still thinking that bankruptcy = liquidation?
I wonder how long it will last since they can not make the sales without subprime loans being the primary finance vehicle.

Let the fucking car companies train their own employees why the fuck should we have to pay for that too?
