If you aren't a troll, you are at least somebody who didn't read the FR posts when Bush started this horrible nonsense. At that time, the vast majority of FR posters, myself emphatically included, loudly denounced the bailout and stated the imperative need for bankruptcy, not bailout. Indeed, the biggest reason for bankruptcy was the huge risk that bailouts could be used as a backdoor way to nationalize the whole U.S. auto industry, not just GM.
If the Usurper were simply to say it's obvious that the bailout was a bad idea from the beginning and GM should go into Chapter 11, that would be fine. Unfortunately, the government's critique of GM and Chrysler makes it clear that the government is second guessing the management of both companies in, among other things, their product mix, and insisting they produce more small, unsaleable cars, rather than the light trucks and SUVs that actually sell and make money.
The real threat here is nationalization of the whole U.S. auto industry, not just GM and Chrysler. If the government keeps them alive by taking a larger and larger stake in each, it will have a powerful interest in assuring the success of each. Even worse, it, the unions, and the Watermelons (are you one??) will be designing unsaleable motorized shoe boxes that will be competing against real cars. The only "solution" to such a problem is either to nationalize every other U.S. auto manufacturer or to force them to manufacture only the government mandated garbage.
The 'Planners' will just pass Federal law( orders really ) to force you to buy them. Then, you see, the whole thing will have been a success? Right? The UAW gets the profits like workers at Peoples Zug Automobile Cooperative, and you are forced to overpay for junk. Eh comrade?
By small "unsaleable" cars are you speaking of cars like the Honda Civic, Honda Accord, Toyota Prius and Toyota Camry, Toyota Corolla?
BTW-these small "unsaleable" cars built by Japanese companies have outsold every similar car made by the U.S. auto companies.
If the American auto executives could match Honda and Toyota in quality they would not be in this mess. But instead Honda sells you an Accord while GM tries to sell you the Pontiac Aztec.
