CAN THE GOVERNMENT OUTPERFORM PRIVATE ENTERPRISE

The government gave General Motors and Chrysler billions of dollars from the taxpayers and then structured a bankruptcy with the government and the union picking up the majority of the tax money infused companies with Obama talking against the three pension fund secured investors to push them into a larger discount. There were three large junior, tarp recipient institutional investors who took discounts, but there is a question as to how the tarp money interaction might play.

The remaining American car manufacturer, Ford, did not receive taxpayer funds and will be competing with General Motors and Chrysler whose major shareholders are the government and the UAW which was a major backer of Obama's presidential campaign.

Is the above competition going to jeopardize American automotive manufacturers and clear the way for the foreign manufacturers with manufacturing in right to work states with lower overhead to take over a larger market share in America.

The school teachers have a similar situation. There was a charter school with very good results in a Washington DC whose grant was eliminated. Why is there such opposition to competition from private schools using the voucher system? The best education per dollar woulld make it very obvious which system is most effective and both systems could continue if they performed similarly. Am I wrong in concluding that the teacher's unions support the politicians who prevent private competition to maintain their members positions and maximize the benefits at the cost of what competition from the private sector would do to benefit the students?

If we were to implement government health care reform, what would it accomplish? I have met several Canadian doctors who moved here from Canada to practice. In July of 2008, I spoke with an English lady whose doctor father and nurse mother in Britain retired four years early to get away from the British medical system. How many of our young people will think that the work and sacrifice to become a doctor is worth paying to be at risk of being limited or controlled by the government? Do we think that good private insurance programs which must make a profit will survive competition with a government run program that can survive without breaking even?

I would have to see something well beyond my imagination to not think that the DESTROYER described in Atlas Shrugged by Ayan Rand is not running our country if they keep putting taxpayer funded/government controlled endeavors in competition with private enterprise. Even a mooreon should be able to see this.

I would be eternally greatful if someone could show me where this has worked before. There is an article in PRAVDA in a previous blog stating, " the American decent into Marxism is happening with breath taking speed" in spite of the history of their people who found that it does not work. This is not to have a better functioning, more secure country - it is for power and money.
