Bailout the car companies...

As a veteran family business man - I must tell you that I find the "too-big-to-fail" concept beyond insulting - it's disgusting. Anyone who has been in a small business knows that the government makes no attempt to save us...and in fact asserts penalties to crush us whenever possible...

But enough on that - the too-big-to- fail concept was started to justify our elected elite to pick our pockets to bail out banking interests whose greed outdistanced their common sense. Not too worry - they are needed more than we are and who cares if you are struggling to make your mortgage and eat?

Now the American car companies are lined up at the end of the Bush administration with their hands out - wanting to put them in our pockets more than they have been for many years...

But wait - every one in Congress should be required to watch Who Killed The Electric Car before one more dime comes out of my money. Could it be Andrew H. Card had his hands in it?

Now after taking away full scale real life production models of cars their owners did not want to give up - GM has the audacity to tell us that they are now developing the Volt - for sale in 2010.

And they can be confident that the Congress will give them more of the citizens money...

Frankly, Barack would need totally clean house in Washington to have any hope of reversing the kind of governments Federal and State that are the deep pockets for the global corporations...
