Let’s see–If we don’t fork over $25 billion to the Big Three (huh?) automakers, they’ll fail.

Excuse me.  Haven’t they already failed?  I just read the announcement for this weekend’s L.A. Auto Show and noticed how the German and Japanese automakers will be showing up in full force with things like, um, electric and alternative fuel vehicles.  GM and Chrysler are taking a bye on the show, but Ford is ramping up.  Still, it’s instructive to recall that just this year, Congress voted $25 billion already so Detroit could BEGIN making vehicles like the German and Japanese vehicles on display beginning Friday.

Yes, indeed, Detroit has already failed, and we can chalk it all up to taxation by the United Auto Workers, who single-handedly brought down the mainstay of American industrial might.  And now the unions, who sponsored Hosanna Obama to the tune of $75 million, want their payback in the form of a card check system of unionization.

The so-called Employee Free Choice Act (EFAC), which the unions covet more than Golem coveted The Ring, is basically a shoo-in.  Obama got big bucks for saying he favored it, and the fiends who control Congress care little if nothing for democracy, only for power–and union bucks mean election victories.

Anyway, I’ll get into this card check thing in another posting, but you can be sure that no matter how much taxpayer money is sent Michigan way, it’ll be eaten up in no time, and the pigs will be back to the federal trough before the ivy covers the walls of Wrigley Field again..

Let them fail.  Their only hope is Chapter 11 and the busting of the UAW.  And even that won’t stop the Germans and Japanese from taking over the entire car market.
