GM And Tariffs

A writer for the Washington Post declares that nothing can be done to hold up General Motors and other American industries. This is hogwash. Certainly tariffs can be put on all foreign made foreign corporation vehicles. That would include the vehicles made here by foreign firms.

I am sick and tired of hearing that the "displaced workers" in other words the laid off, can be retrained while they collect unemployment. Nothing is wrong with them receiving unemployment, but not all can be retrained for other lines of work. Their aptitude is assembly line work. Sometimes you cannot take a fish out of water and expect it to swim! In other words, these poor souls are STUCK IN THE MUD! What could get them out is only another job of the same skills, which is most likely a very poor paying job compared to what they were paid at GM. It is a sorry day for America.
