I am not confusing the issues at all. GM and Chrysler are not going to survive in the short term without being subsidized by the government. Period. This is unrefutable. And they are not going to survive in the long term, even if we throw hundreds of billions more dollars at them to make them limp through to the 2012 elections, which is after all the goal of the Obama administration. In addition to all the other serious issues I have with how my tax dollars are and have been spent, this is just one more.
You and I have a basic and profound disagreement.
YOU think the greedy, stupid white collar executives have run the industry into the ground.
I think the greedy, self-centered and ultimately destructive unions have finally succeeded in killing the goose that laid the golden egg.
I am not confusing the issue. I don’t want him to succeed because I DON’T WANT MORE OF MY MONEY GOING TO THAT UNION CRAPHOLE CALLED THE AMERICAN AUTO INDUSTRY. He is not going to fix it, money is not going to fix it, and I am not prepared to see our country go even deeper into hock to delay the demise of something that cannot be revived.
I think it is you that is confused about the issue. Do YOU support nationalizing industry? Are you a facist, socialist, or both? Because either you think the government should OWN the means of production, making you a socialist, or you think the ownership of industry should remain private but controlled by the government, making you a fascist.
It is either one or the other. Which is it? I am not saying this to put a label on you. I am saying this to see if you are consistent.
You seem to have a problem with our running GM - “THE NEW AMTRACK”...
