The answer is yes, that the Unions had no discernable part in the financial meltdown.

You mean the parts companies that didn't go under because there was a bailout?
Surprise, surprise, yet another xtian that doesn't understand cause & effect.

I love answers like this. It's like you want to answer the question, can't, but say something anyway.
Classic.

Yes, because the unions forced, at gunpoint no less, GM to buy into the toxic real estate assets which later failed & caused them to go belly up.
Come on dude, you aren't even trying. A good troll sounds at least somewhat plausible. You just sound like you've got a head injury.

Cause unions forced them to become more of a health care and retirement funding org, than a company selling cars.

That's really a stretch, even for you. BTW, Ford didn't seem to have a problem in that regard, did they?

Ford did what they needed to do to stay solvent. GM and Chrysler didn't. A few years ago, a new CEO took over of Ford and said he thought he was there to run a car company, not a health plan.
