Ok, I'm committed to free-enterprise and to Reagan-conservatism - but this nonsense where GM's CEO and the other dummies go to DC on charter-jets wasting money, but request the taxpayers to BAIL THEM OUT . . . is just wrong.
This nonsense is going to destroy the perception of free-enterprise and Reagan-conservatism - it's counterproductive to the cause of people who love responsible freedom. It's insane.
correction to this post: it's come to my attention that the labor-unions are being uncooperative in this auto-manufacturer mess - causing the auto-companies to be unable to re-structure and to survive without the bail-out help; so considering the big, unreasonable obstacle of the labor-unions - I wouldn't state that this is so much about free-enterprise, but it's more about union-politics. It's also clear to me now why the Democrats WANT to bail out the auto-companies - how would they win States like Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania ever again?
But I'm telling you now - if the Federal government bails out the auto-companies, Americans are gonna go ape, and Republicans will own Congress in 2 yrs. However if the Democrats in-control of our government now - don't bail out the auto-companies, they might never win states like Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania ever again - so they're in a pickle here. What to do ... what to do .. ?
I'm hoping they exercise wisdom and don't bail out the auto-makers . . . even tho the bail-outs would eventually fail and the Democrats would suffer even bigger consequences than losing Congress, into the future. Might as well start trying to win states like MI, OH, and PA without the unions and the liberal-policies they support - which inevitably must happen soon. The world is changing, my friends - Reagan conservatism now causes world-superpowers. Without the propping up of expensive-labor over cheap-labor - by outdated-liberal-policies which WILL put the United States in the poorhouse including the middle-class and below - Reagan conservatism is the only answer.
