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. I. F. Stone Food for thought...
