Three Stooges: Politicians, Automakers, UAW

In the liberal failed state of Michigan, US Automakers and the UAW have created a monstrosity that is collapsing about them, and here comes congress with broom handles and plaster, trying to keep the creaking eyesore from caving in on us all.

So the inept Washington DC pols who brought us the Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac debacle that tipped our economy over now want to show Detroit automakers the path to destruction.

I think I saw this in a Three Stooges movies once.

Here's the Pelosi solution: "Take taxpayer money, build electric cars nobody will buy, cut executive pay, and ignore the union giveaways that have destroyed you." That's their plan. But what do you expect from the crowd that tells us there's nothing wrong with Medicare and Social Security?

Thankfully, Minority Leader Boehner is taking a hard line. No more double eye-pokes to the taxpayer. No more Congressionally-administered citizen slaps.

Somewhere, somehow, somebody in this great country must be allowed to fail and pay the piper for the stupid decisions they have made. Ford, GM and Chrysler need to file for bankruptcy and dismantle the financially impossible workers paradise they've created. Let the unions howl; they helped create this financial fantasy land.

This can be done in a controlled manner that keeps the factories operating and people working. They need to restructure themselves so they can finally become competitive in the new millennium. Anything less delays the inevitable and wastes taxpayer money.

Anyone who seriously thinks government intervention will help this situation doesn't just need his head examined; he deserves to have his head knuckled by Moe.
