I think I have to agree with him on a few of his points.....

Having been in Michigan most of my life, I've seen how the auto industry has had an effect on many generations... on one hand, I feel bad for the people losing their jobs, at the same time, my sympathy with the Unions is minimal..


All in all, I think it's a bad idea for the government to control GM, we have way more problems than the auto industry... laissez faire and all that shit.

They should all just listen to Ron Paul since he's been telling us shit like this is in the pipeline for years =P.

Along with "evolution doesn't exist." and Federal Reserve r stealing r soulz!

It may very well be missed amongst the other things he says. He's like one of those wacky Greek disregarded prophets or prophetesses (to get all GS prof title).

I don't know whether to blame the company itself or the unions. Fact is they were making way to many cars than the market was looking for.

Around my area alone, there must be fifty car dealerships. Stupid. I've bought three cars in the last six-seven years. All used and lightweight (beaters). Got my first new car a little while ago. A Chevy Cobalt. Doesn't look spiffy, doesn't go fast, doesn't attract the V. Works for what I need is all that matters.

Doesn't hurt that I get to drive an SL600 when I feel the need...the need for speed. (Not mine, I'm a poor MF. Moms lets me take it out when I ask.)

Both were resposible...

everyone screwed over the next generation of either autoworkers or executives in order to save their own hides.

Lots of dealers got hosed as well.

With this kind of behavior, what makes you think a laissez-faire approach will work?

In a true free market we wouldn't be paying to prop up bad companies. Same result possibly? Sure. One just costs a hell of alot less.
