I have wondered aloud (in print) in the past about why the automaker chiefs have not scolded the congress for putting them under the pressure which has made all of their problems even more so “problematic.” The attempts by congress to mandate “change” in consumers buying habits by limiting...
You may have heard this, but Chrysler is bankrupt, and GM is soon to follow.. In fact, it could have all happened last year, and might well have served you better in the end. But nope, Your representatives stood by your side and conceded little if anything that would...
Imagine a day when Michigan based General Motors is a completely foreign firm. Don’t think it could happen? Consider what the “CEO of the US” said last night.. “We’ll end the corporate tax breaks for companies shipping jobs overseas” You can take it to the next government owned bank...
I am sick and tired of the congress, pompous windbags they are facing down any industry in any form. They establish rules which ought not be rules, and then have the unmitigated gall to stare in the eyes of the job creators and tell them they have done a...
I opine. I am hardly fair, offering opposing viewpoints voluntarily while writing here. It isnt my responsibility, and frankly I allow the comments to post as they post. (only moderating to keep the spammers out) I will be critical as I see fit. But to translate my belief that...
I have written in prior posts on the benefits of reducing a regulatory environment to promote business, and still stand on the assertion that for every bill passed into law by congress and a capitulating Presidential signature, there are several businesses breaking out the padlocks for their front doors. ...
Yesterday I touched on a little history, and a small part of what Iaccoca did to turn Chrysler around in the early 80s. This time the stakes are so much higher than Chrysler and Michigan alone, and there must be a solid determination of the powers-that-be (in this case...
After the last two articles, the first: Privatizing the automakers, and yesterday’s: Privatizing the Unions.. I assumed there might be an eye open to another unique solution.. What about selling off the roads, rehabilitation and human services of Michigan? Unheard of! What about Education and the Legislature? Preposterous! The...
Privatization has been touted as a cure to the inefficiency of government run institutions for many years now, because having a vested interest in the profits or losses of any program is key to the success of those programs. Private schools, as the Grand Traverse Academy and others like...
I’m not sure there is an active blog, news source, or TV/radio show anywhere, that hasn’t touched on the effects of automaker layoffs, bailouts, or expected bankruptcies. Most will agree, that no matter the proposed solution, there will be winners and losers.. and again Michigan will be the recipient...
