Government makes better cars
Finally, the all-knowing federal government is going to produce the automobiles we’ve all wanted for so long, but couldn’t buy!
As a condition for receiving another $25 billion of bail-out money, our federal government is going to require that the auto industry provide certain concessions, reportedly including a greater emphasis on “green” vehicles, slashed executive compensation, and additional guarantees for the workers.
I believe it was Russia which figured out how to manufacture state-designed automobiles that citizens didn’t want, fell apart, and required on-going subsidies from the government. Is that the road we want to travel?
If government loans are coming, they should come with no strings attached. Government cannot be allowed into the boardroom and R&D department. If strings must be attached, then the loan shouldn’t be made.
And that global warming thing? Did you know that the earth has been COOLING since 1998? Or that the arctic ice pack is 30% larger than it was at this time last year? Or that NASA has been forced to retract many of the statistics they’ve put out because they were just plain wrong about global warming? And that significantly more people die every year from the cold than from the heat?
Business owners, we need to put our collective thinking caps back on and conduct a sustained campaign to resist the environmental religion. We are all stewards of our environment, but environmentalists are killing our economy, for no good reason.
