A bunch of the people replying here don’t know what it means to be a conservative. They’re A-OK with the government closing down private enterprises. It’s a disgrace.

Indeed, all sh!ts and giggles till it happens to or directly affects them. A disgrace is too kind a word

So what would your opinion be if the government had been properly conservative and stayed out of this whole mess allowing Chrysler to fail a few months back?

I mean fail - shut their doors - sell off bad assets - toss out the UAW contracts - start over and try to get it right this time. That's what I think should have happened - that's what conservatism says should have happened.

But the consequences of a market based correction would have been much broader in order to achieve better long term sustainability. This dealer and thousands of others, instead of hundreds, would have been in this same position had things gone according to proper conservative market based hands off private business principals.
