Detroit vs US Senate

The steel needed to make these items in an auto plant if were needed like past years use to come from places like Pittsburgh...the 'steel city'....well now here we go again in the destruction of America from within. Not only did they close down the major steel mills here around this area, but to make sure they never fire them up again if need to make tanks, guns or what ever, they tore them to the ground...naked dirt there now..I drive past these miles and miles of fenced in dirt..so, if we need to turn over the auto plants again, where we going to make the steel needed?...our ship is already sunk.
I am a retired union worker also and believe me they needed someone to help with the working conditions back when...that is what they were all about in the beginning..all the way up to now..unions are great for keeping the jobs for people that loose them for say ...drugs..booze..just not showing up for work..you know the ones that don't want to work...but in this day and age, can we expect to take a pay cut when the top dogs are getting all these extra dollars?...I use to remind my boss now and then that he would not have a shop if it were not for his employees..but when times were lean, we employees helped out all we could to save our jobs...even a buck an hr would help these auto boys keep things rolling..
