How many loyal Democrat union workers have lost their auto jobs due to dem oil policies?

chopping off the hand that feeds? it was the coal miners during the clinton years.How many loyal Democrat union workers have lost their auto jobs due to dem oil policies?
Unreasonable pay and benefit demands from the UAW has broken the back of the car companies. The days of Unions are over. All UAW officials do is get fat from the workers dues,while we pay $25,000.00 for a crappy car. Yet our Dem congress continues to stand in the way of our drilling off our own coast. And all the UAW workers vote for them!!How many loyal Democrat union workers have lost their auto jobs due to dem oil policies?
There are several reasons oil is so expensive. Very little of it has to do with any policies the democrats are in favor of and none of it is due to what the democrats have done, since they've only had slim control of the house and senate for a year and a half and can't get anything significant past without being blocked by the minority or the president, both of which are republicans.





Among the principal reasons for the high oil prices, the war in Iraq is a major one, as is the general unrest in the middle east. Another is the increase in energy usage by China, India and many other countries. Another is the OPEC cartel. Another is the lack of refineries. Another is the oligopoly in the oil market that stiffles competition (not as bad as the outright cartel that OPEC has, but still has a major market effect which is why they make rediculous profits, rather than putting that money into setting prices lower than their competitors). Yet another is a lack of research funds for renewable energy sources. And another is though to be excessive price bidding by speculators in the market (an oil bubble). Not tapping in to the full reserve of US oil has an effect, but it is negligable compared to these others and if we were to drill for oil in Alaska, it would be years before we saw any effect and even then it would be negligable. We'd be far better off preserving the Alaskan wilderness and reducing our oil requirements with increased use of wind and other alternatives.





And that's just partially addressing one aspect of your question, there are several other things wrong with your statements.
Well, the union movement has been somewhat blind, concentrating on fighting the Republicans, who attack them outright.





Yes, Republicans are an enemy to labor, but a frontal attack is easy to detect. The gelding and harnessing tactic, which is what the ';Democratic Party'; faction of big business uses to attack labor, is a little more subtle.





And since the union leaders are often in bed with D.P. politicians, they are certainly not going to call their members' attention to that threat.





American workers need a labor party, and to stop supporting the Democratic Party (not very democratic!) or the Republican Party (so un-republican they're practically royalists!).





';Without a party, with a substitute for a party, or against its party, the working class cannot prevail.'; - Leon Trotsky
The unions know that the true enemies are the Republicans. That's why the unions support the Democrats.





The Republicans consistently encourage outsourcing of every possible job in order to reduce labor costs and increase profits. Coal perhaps could be turned into clean energy but it would be extremely expensive and that expense and focus should be on clean energy technologies that could employ many workers.
They do not realize that not only the stranglehold the union had on those companies who left, but the increased price of oil was and still is a huge factor in jobs lost.





When you stop continuing to make a profit, you some times have to either close your doors or mve to company friendly surroundings. You cannot pay huge wages and loose money paying higher front end costs.





Auto companies and their subsidiaries, and many other types of jobs as well were lost.

Both parties have embraced the globalist policies that have moved head of household jobs to Mexico and China.. But the Democratic party allowed too much power be concentrated into National Labor unions with one 1 or 2 people at the top. This in effect was the reverse of anti trust legislation. Employer sponsored healthcare was the death of the American assembly job. They legacy payments made onshore production unprofitable when competing with foreign production .
It has nothing to do with oil policies dipshit. It has to do with Detroit's unwillingness and or inability to change. Its not the Democrats who are to blame when Detroit continues to build gas guzzling vehicles that nobody wants to buy anymore.
None. If we had raised CAFE standards back in 2000, our auto exports would be thriving right now thanks to high oil prices.





How many people have lost their jobs due to hubris and short sightedness? Now there's a number that keeps on growing.
do some real research yamster before you write any more BS on something you have no idea w.t.f. your talking about .all this was due to outsourcing of American jobs through the Bush administration years .
Oil policies are not causing job losses in the auto industry. The auto industry is not staying competitive with Toyota, Honda, and Nissan.
i thought they lost their jobs mainly due to outsourcing and greedy republican ceo's, no?
Most have lost their jobs due to outsourcing, nothing to do with oil.
I see that you're still trying to break the record for the most questions on a subject you know nothing about.
Since OBAMA will be our first AFRICAN AMERICAN President, will you stop talking about how much more protective and privileged your WHITE LIFESTYLE is over other BLACK and HISPANIC AMERICAN CITIZENS because you live in a gated community with other WHITE PEOPLE who are given extra contributions to their 401k plan from WHITE CEOs and WHITE BOARD MEMBERS?
