I agree. I have no problem knowing the guys making American cars are getting paid more than the other auto workers, especially if build quality continues improving and they ultimately do it better than the other guys. However, having to pay laid off workers to not work is a big problem. When the market dies like it has now, you simply can't afford to keep workers on. The ability to adjust employment levels is a huge help to the Big 3 and should change business a lot.
