Why is there a "car czar" when it is only SOME of the car companies that need help and cannot compete?  It's not like the whole "car" industry is in trouble.


Why wasn't there a "Steel czar" when the steel industry was failing

Or a "garment czar" when all the clothing manufacturing was going overseas.

Why isn't there a "service industry czar" with all the offshoring of call centers, tech support, etc.



Let's do all of that!!!!

Opening the door to his is SUCH a bad idea.



This kind of pandering and waste of taxpayer money pisses me off.

This will go as follows:

Car Czar:  "Global warming is coming and we can no longer have SUVs"

Result SUVs gone from the Big Three.  


This is not a loan or a buy in or a buy out or anything.  It is pure government takeover of private industry and nothing good will come of it  (whether it takes a day or 10 years to show).
