-----------------------------------------

We didn't *have* to bail anyone out. They were bailed out because of much
ballyhooed concern for the loss of jobs, health insurance and pension plans.
If you recall, the justification was "it will be worse if we don't bail them
out" and "nobody will buy a car from a company in Chapter 11".

Well, in the end, it's going to come down to Chapter 11 or the equivalent of
it anyway. Obama's requirements for additional deep cuts in the generation
of an updated plan over the next 60 days is forcing further concessions and
reductions in benefits and the federal government is now planning to get
into the auto warranty business in a sad attempt to shore up consumer
confidence.

Do you own and drive an auto?

The "captains of industry," for the most part, are too busy negotiating
golden parachutes and fleecing the public and stockholders to run their
companies properly.

I have to admit, though, that it is quite funny to see so many
Republicans suddenly touting Ayn Rand. Classic Comics must have released
a new title. No one with a working brain and anything to do in life
would read one of her overwrought tomes.

Just following the laws the idiots in congress pass and the president
signs.

The law of unintended consequences comes to mind.

The government, congress, should have kept hands off and let the private
companies go bankrupt.
