I expect to get a letter from Obama demanding I buy a GM car.
You mean a new mandate that every garage must include at least one car made by Government Motors?
Don't laugh, my company's collaborator outfit from India, HMT, had won just such a mandate. Before any outfit could buy a metal forming machine in India, they were required by law to ask HMT if they could manufacture their machine. Only if HMT was unable to manufacture it, then they could buy it from others. HMT (Hindustan Machine Tools) was of course a government owned and run outfit in Bangalore.

I am not laughing. If they can force us to buy ONE thing, they can force us to buy ANYTHING.

(I can neither confirm or deny that; even if I could, I couldn't - it's classified.)
