Economy 101: CEOs Can Learn From Assembly Line Workers - How to Manage Without Handouts!

So, today is a big news day! Let's get the Economy 101 out of the way and mention that it is time for the companies requesting bailouts to put their jets on E-Bay as Gov. Sarah Palin did. It's time to brown bag it at lunch time and it's time to learn the ways of the "real world".

I have always hated it when someone with all the trappings asks me for some money - or worse still, a loan they will never pay back. Wake Up! All you CEOs need to get a reality check from the people on the assembly line. Those are the folks without whom you would not even have a job! Take off that Brooks Brothers suit and put on your best sports shirt and sweater and head out to the plant. Talk to the individuals without whom you would be unemployed. Ask them about the grocery prices,  the heating bills, the possibility of sending their kids to college. You might just get some answers on how the real world lives.
