Recently I had Cody Willard of the Fox Business Network on my program and we discussed the incredible expansion of the federal government for several years and the fact that the end is no where in sight. Willard attributes the problem to the "Republican" and "Democrat" financial machine that pays for an ever expansive government. In addition of leading to questionable priorities, expansive government can also lead to some very serious questions about conflict of interest. He points to the recent recall of automobiles on the behalf of several automobile companies.

Early on I thought there was something fishy about the Toyota recalls, coming so soon after Toyota humiliated General Motors, owned by Obama’s government and the union. It is not much of a stretch to imagine these two not only nitpicking and exaggerating to generate recalls, but actually sabotaging, too.

Call me whatever, I don’t put it past them.

The recalls are not just in the U.S. They are worldwide. In terms of fatalities, the 34 deaths are the largest number of fatalities since the Explorer-Firestone problems and the media was all over Ford on that.

About five years ago Toyota started trying to expand in all directions at once and their problems started. Honda and Hyundai are probably going to benefit most.
