Failure Is Not An Option
Ron,
Well, sort of, it is, since the US auto industry did fail - absent a massive government intervention.
Suggeting that something that actually has happened is inconceivable is, in my opinion, silly.
And back to the $81B, it is sunk, water over the bridge, bad money.
Your argument i fundamentally if we don't subsidize the UAW on the backs of the consumer we will have to subsidize on the back of the government ... again.
Well, I don't accept this. Next time the Big 3 or some subset of it fail, and it won't take long, 12-18 months is and has been my prediction, I sat we let the bankruptcy courts sort it out without the providential hands of your sympathetic buddies in the White House and Capitol Hill steering us toward the Socialistic Promied Land.
Tony, thanks for the nostalgia, ...
Easy answer.
I don't like moochers at the government trough.
Have a nice day,
Janman
Tony, thanks for the nostalgia, ...
... but I won't consider a Government Motors vehicle, hair raising Camaro or not, ever.
I will counsel my kids not to ever buy a Government Motors vehicle, ever.
When I am a dinner parties, I will explain to friends why I won't be buying a Government Motors vehicle, ever, even if they come out with a snappy new Z29 or whatever it was.
Thanks, Tony and Ron Middlefinger ...
... on behalf of the rest of American taxpayers, who aren't as special and oppressed as the oh-so-noble Michigan UAW autoworker.
We, and our progeny, get to pay for more capacity than the country needs. But we are limited, intellectually.
You, Tony, Ron, Barrack operate at such a superior intellectual plane compared to us dolts, we obsequiously defer to your inspired steer.
GM and Chrysler will be back at the trough in six moths' time.
I look forward to your and your comrades apologies at the time.
Give me a break, the feds screwed theses zombies. You actually believe this crap?
European manufacturers breathing easy under new E.U. CO2 rules
Look for even these to be relaxed in 3 years time, when the targets are not achieved and the BRIC's tell fashionable Europeans and their sycophants in New York and the Left Coast to take a hike.
Brussels, that refined spokesman on the behalf of humankind, is high on ambition, but short on delivery.
Other predictions next 5+/- years:
The religion of global warming is displaced by some next fad, the chief priest Gore is defrocked, remembered more for losing an election to Bush that Clinton handed him on a platter for his Nobel-prize winning warnings to humankind.
If Dingell was still in, we could be relatively certain not too many taxpayer dollars were wasted on CAFE and on other such things, at least not before the Big 3 righted the ship.
With Pelosi and Waxman, amongst the most eager sycophants and the most devout of the converts, there's more risk government assistance, if it must be, is diverted to sacrificial rites at the altar of global warming.
But perhaps the heretical, dreaded Southern Republicans create enough interference, proselytize enough enough Midwestern Democrats tot ake a hard look at their ledership, maybe taxpayers survive even Dingell's departure.
Dingell vs Waxman
Says something about how far our country has slid towards the cesspool of delusion and mediocrity that we got a choice of Dingell or Waxman for Energy and Commerce.
The next 2-4 years should be mightily entertaining.
Given the choices, I go with John. Rah, rah, rah!
