The Auto Industry is reporting good sales and hiring more people

"I drive a Ford and a Chevy and my wife drives a couple of Cadillacs".

-Mitt Romney
 
Well, looks like Romney won Michigan... barely, but he won. Santorum was right on him the whole way and got edged out by only 3%. That should be telling Romney something. "You're not as loved as you thought you were here!"

The auto industry is doing a lot better now. Just like the OP said: good sales (for now) and more people getting hired (my plant included). And people like Romney are trying to paint this as a bad thing.

What some people fail to realize is that we (the auto workers) are not just looking out for ourselves. We're looking out for our state. Michigan is an industrial state and has been for a long time, whether people like it or not. The wages we make aren't just for me and my co-workers, they're for everyone in this state.

Stores, shops, and small businesses depend on our wages for their livelihood (and in some cases, I mean this literally). Without us spending our earnings here, businesses will fold; some already have and are not coming back.

Romney was all for bailing out his buddies on Wall Street, but when it comes to people like me... apparently, we don't count.

'Man of the people'... HAH! :mad:

59% of voters opposed Romney and he's doing a victory lap.

Ditto for Detroit. The average American car is 12 years old and the UAW is doing a victory lap.
