Because our current government is hellbent to implement fascism.
Any other questions?
I pray the MSM will start asking questions before our America is no more...
See my tag. Zero and the democrat socialists don’t want to save jobs. They want to exacerbate the crisis so they can use it to nationalize even more of the private sector. Cf Zimbabwe and Venezuela.
There were economic reasons for closing dealerships; I recall seeing posts a few months ago that stated GM & Chysler had too many dealerships, but had entangled contractual commitments that made terminating the dealerships legally problematic short of a bankruptcy re-structuring. So the idea of terminating some dealership arrangements is not per se a bad idea.
The problem is that once GM & Chrylser became Government Motors and 0bama Motors, the termination of dealers is no longer an economic decision, it’s a political one. And this is per se a bad idea.
The car czar is taking care of his pals
I wonder how many of these dealers voted for what they are getting?
It has been reported that some of the franchises taken away are just being handed over to others.
Sounds like some kind of stealth reparations or wealth distribution, but as of yet there aren’t many news reports covering this aspect of the heavy-handed Obama power grab.
I’ve seen some videos and letters from people losing their franchises wherein they state that their franchise is being awarded to someone else as soon as they are put out of business.
I wonder how many of the people losing their jobs at the closed down franchises will still admit to being Obama voters.
Mr Paulsen: As a member of Congress, perhaps you could shout a little louder???
How about a connection between those dealers who supported Republican politicians VS those who are still in business who may have supported Dimocraps?
In this time of legitimate disillusionment, it is nice to see some young GOP blood like Paulsen who still embody conservative principles. He’s a good one.
Why? Because Hussein Motors does not want competition. Nor does it want independent contractors, which is what dealers are. Dealers don’t work for GM. They work for themselves as recipients of GM franchises. Hussein has no real control over people of this sort—no LEGAL control, that is. So the plan is to get rid of them and eventually replace them with nice, shiny Hussein donors and ass-kissers.
It’s hard to understand how taxpayers are seen as shareholders in these transactions when the reality is that Obama merely forged our signatures as co-signers on the most-undercollateralized loan the world has seen.
To quote a well respected lady: “We Told You So!”
“Why is government closing businesses?”
Ask a brilliant Democrat. (He’ll probably tell you that you’d be too dense to understand the reasoning anyway.)
(Try it.)
