We'd like to think we have a rule of law and not a rule of special interests in this country.

We have a contract with General Motors since the day we retired. And that contract is enforced until our death.

I've been around GM for a long time, through the 1970s and 1982. They didn't make attacks on retirees then.

I have a deal with General Motors that is a contract I signed and they signed on the day of my retirement.

Right now, we have an unprecedented attack on retirees.

It doesn't seem to matter that this country is swimming in grossly overbuilt retail space. Retailers have become bolder with their requests [for public money].
