Why would anyone in his right mind want the federal government or any
other government to run any industry...the way our current President
wants to run the auto industry, the gas and energy industry, the health
industry, the education industry, the farm industry and every other damn
industry he can get his hands on?
Aide from the
"minor" point that our Constitution does not give the government the
right to run any business, and that powers not granted to the Government
are reserved to the people, here are a few other things to keep in
mind:
1. Competition between companies drives them to
produce better products at lower prices...to get your business. That
competition benefits all of us.
When the Government takes over an industry, it is a MONOPOLY...they have no competitors. It freely does what it wants to do.
2.
The profit motive in the free enterprise system drives companies to
come up with innovations that will attract the consumer dollar.
Government has no profit motive. It loses money? It raises taxes, it
prints new money (which devalues our currency), it borrows profusely
(notice our $16,000,000,000,000 federal debt).
3.
The`Government is run by people who almost always have DONE NOTHING,
ACCOMPLISHED NOTHING and KNOW NOTHING about the business world. Obama
never ran a candy store for one day in his life. You seriously,
prudently, logically, want him to be CEO, chief honcho, top dog, of your
company, or smiling Biden to run the oil industry?
Businesses
that cannot make it in the free marketplace will fold, leaving the
marketplace open to those who can produce the goods the public wants at a
price the public is willing to pay...a sort of "economic survival of
the fittest".
Our goal should not be full employment
(all the slaves had jobs), nor lower interest rates, nor a reduced rate
of inflation. Our goal should be a free marketplace, the only
marketplace which affords to each of us the economic environment to
which we have a moral right.
