"Save the Auto Industry" If I hear that garbage one more time, I'll wish I was Rahm Emmanuel's fish. In any event, I'll opine as well. Until January 20th, this is still a free country.
I have several ideas that are easy to follow. I am not an economist, but what the heck? Neither is anyone in Washington these days. Some of these ideas are so easy to follow, even the immortal Barney Fwank and an army of drunken Kennedys hopped up on Viagra couldn't screw them up.
Idea 1: Forget the eco-sissy mobiles, let's build tanks! Last time I checked, the United States is currently involved involved in two wars. And let's not forget, The Enlightened One Elect has threatened to attack Pakistan if they don't cough up Bin Laden. Well, backing up half hearted campaign promises like that will require more tanks, APC's, and hell, I'll betcha them hemis'll haul a buncha corpses, I reckon.
Idea 2: Let the Mediocre Three go to chapter 11. Folks, Delta and every airline, whether or not they were shot out of the sky by Qadaffi has done it one time or another and guess what ? They are still with us. The only thing that that went belly up was their union deal at the time. I know, The Poobah Elect still wants those UAW campaign donations, but I guess he'll just have to lie some other group to get them. I hear that it costs 73 dollars per labor hour to keep UAW workers content and happy. What are they doing, splitting atoms while balancing a book on their heads ? Obviously not. If they could do that, the driver's side door on my Focus would open at least 70% of the time on the first try. Clearly, 73 dollars an hour was not spent on making me, the paying customer, even remotely happy. Where did the money go ? Well, there's StickyfingersGettelfinger and the rest of of the UAW union staff, offices, supporting every leftist who wants an office in Michigan, and let's not forget, people who retired at age 45 and no longer working for the Mediocre Three. That's where 73 dollars an hour went. A bankruptcy would erase some of that failed union policy and restore the Mediocre Three to at least Yugo status. Why, they might even approach making a profit. How...American.
Idea 3: Impeach Barney Fwank, The Man From Krypton-Elect, Nancy Boy Pelosi, Joe Biden His Time Till Obama Screws Up, The venerable Chris Dudd (Really--It's Dodd, get it ?), Tom Dash-Hole (I know he's not in an elected official at present, but I am having some fun with this gag.), Schmuck Shumer, and last and definitely least, Harry Reid, the director of tourism in DC.
