VIDEO: Wagoner attempts to explain gov't loans to automakers {Autoblog}
Sep 30th 2008 2:11PM Tax breaks are great, it reduces the burden on people/businesses and lets them operate with greater capital. The federal govt giving them a loan places the burden on us, and makes many people who do not want to support them or any federal aid pay by force.
Less government and taxes increases business and offers people more freedom. The more people that look at the government as their caretaker, the harder it is up foster the idea that humans are responsible for their own lives and the government is there to protect the rights we, as humans, are born with. The mentality today seems to be that government grants us rights, that is some backwards thinking.
I went a bit off-topic, oops.

Sep 30th 2008 2:00PM Not that this should surprise anyone, but don't bother trying to voice an opinion on the GM Blogs that goes against what GM wants to promote, the mods will keep it from being displayed.
I posted a comment on his previous post saying I was a loyal GM owner (and I am) who realized that govt regs place a burden on them, but asking for a loan from tax payers disgusted me, and if their ideas were so great they should be able to secure private financing. I then stated I would likely not consider buying or suggesting anybody else buy a GM vehicle until I felt the company had redeemed itself.
Maybe I am being too hard on them, they are playing in a regulated market and the controlled U.S. economy, but they've known that for many years and still managed to come to this point.

Germans none to happy about U.S. aid to automakers {Autoblog}
Sep 25th 2008 10:02PM Socialism favors a government-controlled market. Our economy is a controlled market, constantly teetering on the edge of collapse. Perpetuated by members of all parties when businesses are spoon-fed easy credit by the Federal Reserve.
A few businesses going under is nothing compared to killing our dollar.
Ralph Nader opposes $50 billion loan from feds {Autoblog}
Sep 8th 2008 2:27PM Nader or no Nader, opposing these loans is in our best interest. We're setting a dangerous precedent where a large business can look to the fed for a bail out and in doing so we can further devalue our dollar. It's not as if the federal government has this money sitting in a big vault, we're almost 10 trillion in debt. The only way to pull this off is by taking a loan out from the Federal Reserve, devaluing the US dollar and cranking up inflation. I want to see GM turn it around, it makes me sick they look to our federal government and the evil Federal Reserve bank for help.

Aug 28th 2008 7:14PM That's how you do it, remove the taxes to aid the market.. not boost inflation with federal bail-outs, which ends up hurting you in the long-run.
