Government Business Mismanagement

Leftists insist that governments outperform corrupt “capitalists.” Here is one example of how government manages when politicians get involved.

General Motors decided to close dealerships after the government takeover. Closed dealers contacted their congressmen and senators to stop the orders, which were then promptly rescinded.

Thus, valid business become arbitrary political decisions. The exact opposite the Obama administration promised would never happen, when it took over GM control.

Politicians need voters; they must cater to voter pressures. That means private industry employees will lose jobs to political influences over time. Not pick and shovel jobs. Not sit-on-chair-and move-paper government jobs.

Business people need profits and do what they must to get them, or they go bankrupt. Bankruptcy resolves problems. Otherwise those difficulties fester for years at taxpayer cost, as they do under government auspices.
