Just 18% of Americans think the United Auto Workers union and the federal government will do a good job running Chrysler and General Motors, according to a new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey.35% aren't sure? Geez, nothing like having an informed public willing to answer a simple question.
Forty-seven percent (47%) believe the union and the government will do a bad job, while 35% are not sure.
Meanwhile, an increasing number of Americans oppose the auto bailouts.
Seventy percent (70%) continue to oppose any additional bailout funding for GM and Chrysler, while 13% think it’s a good idea. Just two weeks ago, 60% said the bailout loans already given to the auto companies were a bad idea, although the Political Class disagreed.It's a virtual no-brainer that Chrysler will turn out junk autos nobody will buy, and who knows, it'll probably be mandated before long that we have to buy one just to prop them up.
Through stock ownership, the UAW and the government are expected to have a majority say in management decisions of both companies as the result of deals worked out by President Obama’s auto task force to ensure more federal money to keep them in business. Chrysler is now going through a structured bankruptcy to keep going, and GM is expected to report back with its reorganization plan by the end of this month.
Here's an idea: Let them put their money where their mouth is. Make the government and government employees but these vehicles. How much you want to bet these limousine liberals would balk at that?
