What is Obama going to do about it?

Shush. Be quite. Don't let Obama know there is another business for
the government to take over.

Name one that the government has taken over, Frank, hmmm?

To be frank

Does Chrysler and General Motors count?
Are they not under the control of the Obama's "Auto Czar"?
They don't count, because they had the choice of going bankrupt.
Chrysler owns 6% and the US owns 61%. The plan is/was that restructuring
would allow Chrysler and GM to get through this tough patch, return to
solvency, and pay off the Treasury. Ostensibly, the "Car Czar" is there
to see that they (1) don't sack and pillage bailout funds, (2) run their
bussiness in a professional manner, which, previously they hadn't, so
you can understand an investors concern. As I understand it, the
government's shares are non-voting shares, so artistic license won't be
compromised, if they don't try to drive the business off a cliff.

Besides Obama Motors, I believe the banks will be next. Fire the CEO's
and board members and break them up and sell the banks back to the
public.

Obama Motors, Obama Care, Obamanation, what is with this crap? Can't
people discuss the facts without resorting to sarcasm, and ad hominem
attacks? Are we back to the loonies invading the Florida recounts to
impede the work of government?

I didn't vote for the guy but this mindless sarcasm only says that there
is no discussion, our minds are closed, and it is our way, or the
highway. At the risk of appearing vulgar, let me say that this is bull
shit.


In the seventy's, Lee Iacocca stated "At Chrysler we are building twice
as many cars with half as many people as in the sixties". In the late
fifties GM laid off 50,000 people in the payroll department when they
purchased their first computer for the payroll department.

Imagine a future world where 10 percent of the worlds population can
provide for 100 percent of all goods and services through free trade and
automation. What kind of economic system will one have where 90% of
population will not have employment?

One answer is: It will not be capitalism!

Private public schools, private prisons (already have 1% of us
locked-up), private fire departments, private military, private
government spies, internet band width for a price, privately sponsored
public broadcasting, and government contracts being doled out to
cronies, instead of low bid. We already have concentrated corporate
ownership of the media, and now they can spend as much as they want for
the election of their most servile sock-puppet.

I think it is called "New and Improved Feudalism".

From R.E.M. - "the world as we know it is going to end and I feel fine".

Rich people march on Washington every day.
