The reason that the unions and the other stakeholders have not cut a deal with the automakers is because they believe the federal government is going to bail them out.

Stakeholders
Stakeholders, leads, sore, sad, set, toe, toes, doe, does, held;
And like the stakeholders in the land of your muse!
But my joy will always be with you.
Stakeholders, stake, take, sake, tea, eat, ate, as, at, hold, holders;
But with care in the land of your muse!
For your lovely words were heard by all,
And like a dove flying up high.
Stakeholders, holder, sear, rat, rats, star, stars, shoe, shoes, dares!
And like tow lovers in the land of joy;
But try to remember your words and fulfil your dreams.
Stakeholders, tar, tars, era, ear, are, ears, see, sees, seer, sea, seers;
For the days are now closing up on your muse,
And like the joy of your works in the land of plenty!
But try to be in peace with the people around you.
Stakeholders, seas, old, older, sold, told, rode, teak, dear, read, red;
With the joy of your muse in the land of beautiful roses!
But try to understand my status as well,
And like Romeo and Juliet.
Stakeholders, shares, so to doers, dare, reads, dears, deer, reed, he;
And like the way of life in the land of peace,
But i am the one who want to direct you to my home of joy!
Stakeholders, reeds, steak, dole, sole, she, had, led, ore, roes, read;
And like the romance of love in a peaceful place,
But i am very glad to have you back at last.
Stakeholders, skate, Kate, sate, date, sat, seat, her, share, here, hears;
But with joy and peace to crown the day,
And like the days of lovely flowers to represent your muse.
Stakeholders, hoe, seats, sets, lead, hoes, sears, dates, hear, do!
With love and care in the land of your muse,
But try to do your best always to let the world go round in peace.

The powers of government exercised locally derive from a federal law authorizing government by consent in local affairs only, unless those affairs are otherwise governed by federal law.

The U.S. uses most of its oil for transportation. We can limit U.S. demand for oil by requiring automakers to use the technology that already exists to improve fuel economy - technology that the automakers refuse to bring into the market despite societal demand.

But again, you know, the views that we've expressed are transferring power back from the federal government to the states, giving Alaska an incredible opportunity to expand its economy, especially at a time when our federal government is coming close to bankruptcy.So that is a broad-based appeal. It's not an extreme view.

We can't have - we can't have a patchwork of 50 states developing their own immigration policy. I understand the frustration of people in Arizona. They want the federal government to step up and deal with this problem once and for all, and that's what we want to do.

The Federal Government should be the last resort, not the first. Ask if a potential program is truly a federal responsibility or whether it can better be handled privately, by voluntary organizations, or by local or state governments.

Anarchists
The leaders of this country,
Think were the ones that do wrong,
They take control of the power,
and steal this land of forgotten freedom
Its not the people afraid of the government,
Its the government afraid of the people
They call the ones dressed in black,
The evil ones but we fight back,
We've got hackers, we've got protesters,
we let no man left behind
Its not the people afraid of the government,
Its the government afraid of the people
The unions dressed in black,
With their flag raised up high,
Don't take no for an answer,
As the forces stain the streets with blood
Its not the people afraid of the government,
Its the government afraid of the people
We fight for the people,
Our obligation is good as gold,
And though we fight with arms of steel,
we don't let death go in vein
Its not the people afraid of the government,
Its the government afraid of the people

Now, I learned soon enough, that among the three, two don't trust the third one - the third one is the government. Both industry and unions feel the government is a talking organization and a spending organization.

Federal prison, if you get any of it, you're going to have to do 85% of it. And the reason why I called it that is because I had a friend who got sent to the federal joint and his whole... it wasn't about him being in jail. He cried about the 85%.
