the washington independent has done a great
story here
and what they did was they said hey you know it's interesting
because they were published keeps saying
the delta we can't give government money to the big three to bail them out
because hey he can't make it in the free market that's tough day for you
that means that you know you couldn't hack it and you should go on there
and you should take that really large union with you
wink wink minnesota
and apply probably three is all the money that they're giving to the unions
united auto workers
and did it didn't so much more money
their counterparts
i_d_'s transplant companies will be called the transport companies
these are the
chertoff honda
uh... b_m_w_ mercedes will citing a setter
that have
startup factories
the southern states
that's funny coincidence that it turns out gets the republican senators from
those same exact southern states
we're looking to tell the big three
but i think in the ballot
and one of the day faces have we can to get a government handouts these car
companies they gotta make it on their own
sold the watchman
depended did business with that's interesting
i thought i remembered the big guy
government and that's the kind of those other states
so they would be a little research
and loan them all
in richard shelby leading the charge invested a lot
republican senator from alabama
has a couple of uh... transplants
factories in alabama
mercedes-benz in nineteen ninety three
how did they get there
the state of alabama offered them
hundred and fifty three
million dollars
in state or local tax breaks worker training and win approval
for honda alabama did something somewhere they have been a sweetener
in nineteen ninety nine
beginning their plant down there
and if you're a hundred and fifty
eight million dollars
and then when they wanted to do an expansion of the plan three years later
the state of alabama given another let me know you know
well it's okay that some bad how about in two thousand one whatsoever not
the company with uh...
twenty nine million dollars in tax payer gets
so alabama gives another twenty nine million dollars
what happened to an end without the
governments hope i thought these
for companies were such genius is that they didn't need the governor's office
interesting or let's keep going
how about that tennessee where bob corker another republican senators that
body it's all about
look and next day
gave
rents writing as stormy
line honduran and seventy seven million dollar deal
to relocate their plant down there
land deals for uh... parks tax breaks to set up
five hundred and seventy seven
million dollars
in just a state of tennessee
to get of we'll try to put a lot of people wondered it is that even make
economic sense we know they'll idea behind you bring the plant you get
jobs your people there
and it pays off for you in the long run
the senate consulate in and say
on an issue that a sophomore
and meanwhile the same time
in other parts of the state
they're laying off people and uh... they are cutting people off
from medicare rules
now for example in of
in tennessee
for the same time to review some plant went down there two thousand five
and got a hundred and ninety seven million dollar gift these are all
different plants okay they cut one hundred seventy thousand low-income
adults from their medicaid rules
now those two things that exactly related
but it does that make you go often
as to where this money's going and what's not going
nineteen ninety two south carolina got a b_m_w_ plant four hundred fifty million
dollars and georgette gotta kia plant of four four hundred fifty million dollars
in mississippi in two thousand three nissan dot lord at
with a three hundred and sixty three million dollar deal from those states
so how come telling me about how they didn't get any money from the government
as for number one whatever tourist
what we've got a cover as far as the big three percent g_m_ ford or chrysler
american companies have to cover the health benefits and retirement benefits
for their workers
well those benefits are covered
for their local workers in toyota and honda
uh... in and lexus nissan and i know they're umbrella
groups that are going on that
in japan they're covered by the government
so many more lives
institutional advantage there
and it's not i think that the government doesn't help 'em it does to cover those
benefits
for their workers
in japan
now when you come over here
dot i promise
g_m_ and ford and chrysler been around a lot long swing a lot more people retire
you know that there are
four times as many retirees that g_m_ has
but they pay pensions for
as the number workers
when they say all of g_m_ pays our work is an average of seven dollars an hour
that is not true at all
that number is their current workers their benefits
and although we tell you the
which are an enormous amount of people
whereas those transplants down the south
they don't have
retirees visit him in the nineteen nineties the nineteen nineties and into
thousands
when they say that it's because of the united auto workers
that's not true at all
it has all
that was that a small part of it yes ok but is that the major thing absolutely
not if you look at the numbers
and when they say hey look
these transfers of data government money
as wat hundred-percent
not true the reason the republicans are telling you that is one they want to
kill the unions
they want more business to come down south
i don't know visit also walked by me and that's probably overblown
but they want more business to come to the south
look i'll tell you what it is she was on the other foot
you know their bodies have been calling democrats who do that
on american
for killing american companies
put some thought behind
