    GM: What’s the solution?

    More from 16USA60

    History and Now. I think reading history can help us with our current problems

     

    I have posted this before, but once again I was helping my 8th grade son with his history homework essay questions about the Civil War and find it very interesting to read history and see how our current country is now.  Like how our country was divided then came together again after the war.  When the Union won the war, the Union troops were cheering, but General Grant said, to be silent, the war is over, and now they (Confederate Troops) are our countrymen again.

     

    Plus all the warnings are Founding Fathers quoted and look what is happening!!!!

     

    Especially the quote about Private Banks are more dangers than a standing army and soon citizens will be homeless.  Something like that by Thomas Jefferson.

     

    WOW, look what is happening now, with the bank bail outs, Federal Reserve created in 1913, all the foreclosures, etc.

     

    Amazing.

     

    Please should read our history and it's almost has a lot of our answers for our future, if we listen to the common sense principles.

     

    Remember our Founding Fathers CAME FROM a Dictatorship, so they knew, what should be done to prevent too much government power.

     

    Look at the Depression .....   how Ford Company didn't want to get involved with government policies and LOOK NOW, how Ford Company didn't take any bail out money.  Amazing.

     

    I run my own business.  Very small.  But I deal with competition all the time, especially larger ones selling the same service, but my success is to give BETTER SERVICE,

     

    So GM, what were you thinking?  I business needs to make a profit, IT'S SIMPLE.  If it's not making a profit, MAKE CHANGES and it seems like GM couldn't make changes due to the Union, True?

    Now our Government owns a car company...this is crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
