Enough is Enough

I have finally had it with George Bush and his administration. You can't say that I haven't been supportive of him for almost 8 years. But his decision to bailout the Big 3 Automakers after Congress and the American public made it clear that a bailout is not favored is the last straw.

It was wrong to spend taxpayer money to bail out the insurance and financial industries and it is wrong to use taxpayer money to bail out the automotive industries. I'm no Constitutional scholar but what happened to equal protection under the law? If the government is going to protect some businesses from failing, aren't all businesses due the same protection?

I wonder if this protection is retroactive? I had a business fail a few years ago. Can I go chow down at the public trough?

Where in the Constitution is it written that you and I (taxpayers) can be forced to buy stock in a car company. That's what is happening. We already own part of the banking and insurance industry. I don't know about you but I am ready to sell my interest.

And what makes the government think it can run the car companies? Have they looked at their own books lately? If we ran our businesses like the Congress runs the government's business we would be put in jail.

I think before the government starts buying into a bunch of failed companies they should get their own house in order.

What say you?
