This sums up the problem with Government intervention.
Read this quote taken directly off CNN’s website front page:
Chrysler will file for bankruptcy, an Obama administration official confirmed to CNN today. The filing will follow failed efforts to reduce the amount of money the troubled automaker owed. Bankruptcy won’t mean the end of Chrysler, CNN Money reports. The administration plans to use the process to merge Chrysler with Italian automaker Fiat.
Now, read it again, and again. The “Government” who presented this “bailout money” or whatever you want to call it, as a “loan” is now calling the shots. It wasn’t a loan, it was a take over, pure and simple. Since when does the Government tell an auto manufacturer to file bankruptcy? Since when does the Government tell an automaker who to merge with?
The problem is, it’s only the beginning. When you let government grow, it takes over, and runs the agenda of the people in charge, not The People, as our founders intended. The Constitution is out the window. Just watch over the next 4 years at least, as socialism grows, and personal freedoms diminish. The very sad part of all of this is that this kind of thing has so very suddenly, become commonplace, and is accepted, without outrage, by the Sheeple of the United States.
Those who would argue that since the Government loaned the money, they have a right to control it, I say they never should have loaned it in the first place. Let it fail. Let it go through bankruptcy as a free market is designed to handle. That’s become the result anyway. Just now, instead of supply and demand determining the outcome, it’s a political agenda. Yeah, we need more of that.
Maybe this is what we all need. A good dose of limited freedoms, losing it all. Maybe a few generations after we’re all gone, our great great grandchildren revolt against the Socialist / Marxist / Communist Government that will evolve from these current times. And maybe next time, a free people won’t forget the lesson learned, or waste freedoms so precious, paid for with such great sacrifice.
I have to wonder just how many of the people that elected Obama, have any understanding at all of the Constitution, and how this country is supposed to operate.
