Bingo,
LaHood is trying to further destroy Toyota’s reputation at the behest of Obama in order to improve the prospects of GM and Chrysler. This is exactly what those opposed to the auto bailout feared would happen. When gov’t interferes in private markets, the results are always bad. Just look at how they used Fannie and Freddie to put people into homes they could not afford and thus collapsed the housing market. I am thinking the Japanese will soon be calling Barry and telling him they will begin dumping their US Treasuries onto the market if he doesn’t back off.
