He's tired of posturing legislators in Washington. Tired of the UAW getting punched around by people with no sense of history. Tired of his neighbors in West Bloomfield Township lying to themselves about how perfect their foreign cars are. Really, really tired of General Motors CEO Rick Wagoner.

While it's nice for America's automakers to have access to a talent-pool of available workers, it's also a major financial drain on an industry that's already reeling from a distinct lack of profits. And with new cutbacks and layoffs being announced almost daily, these "job banks" are increasingly tough to justify, even... Full article...
