Failed MI Guv Candidate and Failed MI Guv Pan Successful MI Guv Son

 A recent video, prompted by Presidential candidate Mitt Romney's recent boast about helping the auto industry get back on track.

 

 

The 'Angry Mayor' of Lansing refers to Mitt's Op-ed piece at the NY Times, where he came out against the bailouts, "Let Detroit Go Bankrupt!" in late 2008.  A piece which he lays out a free market case as to why bailouts would be counterproductive to the auto industry.  Summarizing by: 

"The American auto industry is vital to our national interest as an employer and as a hub for manufacturing. A managed bankruptcy may be the only path to the fundamental restructuring the industry needs. It would permit the companies to shed excess labor, pension and real estate costs. The federal government should provide guarantees for post-bankruptcy financing and assure car buyers that their warranties are not at risk.

In a managed bankruptcy, the federal government would propel newly competitive and viable automakers, rather than seal their fate with a bailout check."

 

Whose argument/actions do you think makes most sense:

1)  The MI Governor between 2003-2010 (Granholm) whose stance has been: to give glowing praise to President Obama's bailout of the auto industry, and saying "Mitt Romney came to Michigan, and while we were on our knees he stabbed us in the back."

2)  The MI Governor Democrat candidate for 2010 (Bernero) whose stance is fairly clear from the video.

3)  The MI Governor's son (Romney) whose stance is fairly clear on the link.

In drivers ed, the car me and my driver's ed partner used was a Matador... worked well enough to get me through the course and a drivers license. Of course a couple years after I went through the course they got much newer cars.

Stimulus and socialism run together if you veer away from the political orthodoxy espoused by both parties.  Government involvement and subsidization advanced by either party goes against the public interests by giving public benefits to private businesses.  Romney had the right idea, but he had no right to boast, as his ideas were not implemented.  Most people who are paying attention figure out that most people in both parties are playing to their favorite corporate sponsors.

I know a little about cars, but I love riding my bicycle.  When driving, I usually just get infuriated at the other crazy drivers that I wind up in back of.  The drivers behind me are just as bad when I'm cycling, but they disappear quickly down the road after they pass me.

I don't like Romney but compared to Obama he's a white knight.
