Time to be a Full Time Grandma

Democrats in Congress appear to be traveling at warp speed to “rescue automakers.
Welcome to nationalizing business in the U.S., and to think we criticize South American countries. Under consideration are placing government designated people on the boards of directors, partial government ownership of the companies (Tom Jefferson must be beside himself), a cap on executive salaries, change in work rules and strict rules requiring the building of “green vehicles (no doubt without regard to whether they can make money doing so). Take the new GM Volt as an example, it will cost $40,000 and GM says it will lose money on each car¦what a deal. The UAW has a “not my job position as they believe it was management that got the companies into their current trouble. Well, they are half right. :sneaky:
And you thought Obama was not going to be influenced by special (union) interests. :yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl:yh_rotfl
I hear rumors the next organization to receive a government handout is the Sands in Las Vegas, they are losing billions, they employ a large number of lower paid workers. Why don’t we simply cut out the middle man and go to Vegas and gamble our money away ourselves. Okay, so I made up the rumor, but you get the idea. :yh_rotfl
It would appear that if you agree to government rules drafted by members of Congress you are eligible to get taxpayers money to save your business. :-5
OMG, think about what we are doing. When have government designed programs ever been efficient or successful, when have hundreds of thousands of pages of regulation not had unintended consequences, when will we ever learn that attempting to micromanage the free market system does not work? When will we learn that shoring up a structure that is fundamentally unsound does not work (think Conrail)?
We destroy houses so badly damaged they can’t be repaired and we start fresh with a new house, why not do the same with a business?
One thing is pretty clear the first chance we will have to learn these lessons all over again will be after the next election.
Nancy Pelosi is 68 years old, it’s time for her to be a full time grandma, which would end up helping the rest of our grandchildren as well.
