Auto-Bailout, contacting your congressman

Well it looks like the American auto-industry is still wanting a bail-out after Ford Motors and GM have posted losses. Thank God for corporate welfare I guess! So far the administration and our congressmen on the federal level haven’t acted on it, but leader’s are already pushing for it.

So what can we do to help stop this monstrosity? Well, luck would have it there are resources at an internet user’s fingertips and I’m going to repost the information I put up against the $700b Wall Street welfare check.

This is the link to contact your congressman. I know that it has a lot of information on the bail-out, but it is also the most up to date listing I could find (though some people ARE on their way out don’t forget). You know who your congressman is, if they got voted out I would still urge you to contact them in case congress tries to push something thru before January first.

Don’t forget, the hundreds of millions of dollars congress injected into the market have not done squat. The DOW is still below 9,000 points, even though we’ve spent a lot of that money already. Although this is arguably different, we can still see the same thing: If we give millions of dollars to the auto-mobile industry, what are they going to do with it to change their practices? How are they going to use it to compete with their Japanese competitors.

Maybe the question is what CAN they do with all of the regulations and the totalitarian unions? Maybe the government – instead of throwing billions of dollars at the problem – should consider loosening regulations for the industry.

What a radical thought that would be. I wonder if Obama and the Pelosi gang have even considered that…
