If we had let the auto industry fail as Republicans wanted, would Ohio be better off today than it is now?

We would be better off if people knew what the hell they were talking about.

When you bet against the American worker, as Mitt Romney did, YOU LOSE.

The only thing that was in danger of failing was the UAW. Yes, Ohio and the nation would be much better off without the UAW.

AMERICAN WORKER - American citizen or legal immigrant available to be or already employed in America.

FWIW - Mitt Romney, as leader of Bain Capital, bet against the American Worker and WON a lot of money while causing severe economic pain to the communities and people he robbed.

Oh ye of little faith. We have bankruptcy laws so that companies in financial troubles do not "perish."

All some of these idiots have, is this false claim that if Obama had not bought GM with tens of billions of free taxpayer money, it would have perished. Plenty of corporations file for bankruptcy protections and come out stronger. GM would have looked good if they had filed for bankruptcy and dumped the union contracts

Mitt bet on the American worker and won more times then he lost. Or do you think he was betting against the American worker when he invested in Staples?

so it was a good idea to take money away from all American workers and gift it a much smaller percentage, all while other promised benefit programs fail or go insolvent?
yeah makes perfect sense lol
