Of course this means that in short order numerous regulations, restrictions and monetary handicaps are going to be placed on foreign car manufacturers in the U.S., because unless they are, there's no way in hell anyone in his right mind is going to buy a piece of crap from the government car company.

I've got a better idea. Just set aside $10 billion a year or so to buy off the unions directly. It'll be much cheaper in the long run.

You know, Czars usually had bad endings. Nicholas II comes to mind. Maybe the government needs to come up with another pat phrase for a bureaucratic position.

All new for 2012, the Pelosi GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition is the mandatory American car so advanced it took $100 billion and an entire Congress to design it. We started with same reliable 7-way hybrid ethanol-biodeisel-electric-clean coal-wind-solar-pedal power plant behind the base model Pelosi, but packed it with extra oomph and the sassy styling pizazz that tells the world that 1974 Detroit is back again — with a vengeance.

We’ve subsidized the features you want and taxed away the rest. With its advanced Al Gore-designed V-3 under the hood pumping out 22.5 thumping, carbon-neutral ponies of Detroit muscle, you’ll never be late for the Disco or the Day Labor Shelter. Engage the pedal drive or strap on the optional jumbo mizzenmast, and the GTxi SS/Rt Sport Edition easily exceeds 2016 CAFE mileage standards. At an estimated 268 MPG, that’s a savings of nearly $1800 per week in fuel cost over the 2011 Pelosi.

Even with increased performance we didn’t skimp on safety. With 11-point passenger racing harnesses, 15-way airbags, and mandatory hockey helmet, you’ll have the security knowing that you could survive a 45 MPH collision even if the GTxi SS/Rt were capable of that kind of illegal speed.

The deal died in the Senate. That’s a blessing in disguise for the auto industry. The new Fords and Chevys have been improving in quality in the last few years and are very nice cars.

Allowing the government to bail them out would be a recipe for a long, slow death. I would buy a Chevy Camaro from a bankrupt GM. There is no way I would buy anything from a government-owned and operated GM.

with the car czar
the drug czar
the war czar
education czar

who is the czar czar?

[raybbr]

The bill--formally titled the Auto Industry Financing and Restructuring Act--passed the House Wednesday, but appeared stalled in the Senate yesterday. The act would grant sweeping powers to a federal "Car Czar" -- an individual the bill merely refers to as "the President’s Designee."

And, Bush plans to sign this bill?

[Thebaddog]

The Czar will force them to lose more money on the cars they make by dictating what to make.

[sirchtruth]

LOL! This is so unbelievable! When the "ME" generation takes over, you can rest assured it's all over!

The real culture of corruption is about to commence!

[6SJ7]

The efficiency experts in the Congress are going to fix the auto industry. That’s just great. /sarc

I have been reading the Kos kids, Du’ers, Huffs, and the rest of the moon-bats wrong.

Apparently they were not criticizing Bush for being a fascist, they were criticizing Bush for not instituting fascism fast enough.

It will not matter... non dim Americans will refuse to buy from a dim owned car company. I am done forever with the bogus three... Mississippi built Toyotas for my family from now on... non union to boot!
