Add to the likes of GM and Ford the venerable name of Chrysler, which almost expired in the 1970s, and chalk it all up to intractable union policies and contracts. Daimler Benz, which owns Chrysler under the name DaimlerChrysler, is talking layoffs, plant closings and selling the marque to stanch the bleeding.
The Demofiends’ solution?
Socialize medicine, so the automakers can reduce their retiree and employee health costs–and let them all die younger in the process. That’s my guess.
Another typical Demofiend respond would be to set levies on imported cars.
As the Guinness ad spokesmen would say to both ideas, “Brilliant!”
My solution: Cut the contracts, make better and more fuel-efficient cars, and cut the number of models in half or even by two thirds. Unfortunately, Demofiends can’t buy votes–and make it in the history books–with those practical solutions. But they can by making health care inaccessible to all with waiting lists for the most routine of procedures.
