Time to turn the page and design a country we want

Listening to some people who are unaffected by the country's economic downturn discuss the situation reminds me of how callous people can be about other people's problems. These are the kind of individuals who blame the automakers' problems on the United Auto Workers Union for their refusal to work for minimum wage without health insurance and other benefits. Now, of course, if these workers get laid off and the taxpayers have to pay them welfare benefits, the workers would be the scum-of-the-earth who should have taken better care of themselves when they were employed.
