Ford Motor Company - A Doomed Holdout

You all remember that Ford, of the 'Big 3' car manufacturers, is the only one who refused to take government bail-out money. Well, unlike the other two (Chrysler and Government Motors), they recently reported a profit.

Government Motors is going to have to puppet-dance to Congress and the Green Fringe's ecowacko market ignoring tunes. They'll turn out cars that only Congress and the brain dead envirowacko lemmings want YOU to drive. Never mind that they drive around in Escalades or fly about the country in their new G5 Grumman luxury business jets because they're important . . .

So Ford is successful. Their head honcho, Alan Mulally, is talented. But there is a problem here, a huge gorilla lurking in the shadows: government. In a fist-fight with government, talent has no chance. Ford is competing for sales with Government Motors and Chrysler, both of which the federal government has billions of dollars of your dollars tied up in. That won't be allowed to continue.

Ford's successes can only come at the expense of Government Motor's and Chrysler's lesser success. You can bet that Congress and Barack Hussein Obama won't let that go on for long. No, since government makes the rules, they can also change them.

So the Ostrich Killer predicts that it won't be long before our government will legislate Ford into either compliance with their agendas or into oblivion. Even if Ford falls into line with the agendas, their days are numbered, because even lacking Congress's telling them how, they will somehow manage to produce superior vehicles which buyers will still buy at the expense of Government Motors and Chrysler. So, ultimately, in the eyes of the wack jobs currently sitting on their padded asses in the halls of Congress and the White House, Ford will ultimately have to go.

RIP, Ford. It's been a great run.

Cash for Clunkers

Ain't it wonderful? The same people who bought houses they couldn't afford can now buy a brand new car they can't afford. Put another way, the same taxpayers who are now paying for those houses will also be able to pay for those cars, and, if health care goes the way Barack Hussein Obama wants, health care for those same deadbeats too.
