No, I will never buy a General Motors car ever again. But, not because of the reasons you are probably thinking. You see, most liberals don't understand what could be so wrong with a government owned auto company. "Wouldn't it be patriotic to buy a car from the government?" I think a good portion of liberals would think, "Oh you just don't want to support the government!" or "You're just an Obama denier". No, that's not it. The truth is, if government really did do things productive, marketable, and inventive at a reasonable price, then I'd be inclined to consider a government made automobile. But, look no further than the DMV, Medicare, and IRS to see how "efficiently" the government runs business. No, government owned in and of itself is not the reason why I will no longer buy from this company. There are only 2 things that can happen with this GM takeover:
- The car is going to be too expensive. Anything the government touches is a bad investment. They can't create anything (barring dependency on the government) that is cheaper than what can be created in the free market. Nope, no one will buy these cars due to expense (look at unreasonable subsidies paid to non-productive union members as well as the unlimited taxpayer funding as the reason).
- The car is going to be a piece of crap tin can that no one will want to buy. The types of car's Barack and the environmentalists want to us to buy are the one's that NOBODY wants to buy. Make no mistake - say goodbye to the SUV.
Welcome to 21st century communism, folks. Saddle up, it's going to be a long painful road. Again, this is "change we can believe in."
