It's pretty outrageous that the WBN-GOP Senators were talking about giving the Big 3 until March to get their act together.

This type of idiotic thinking begs me to bring up the point of ELITE BUREAUCRATS... a concept that is completely foreign in the United States, but is a mainstay in Western European and Japanese governments. This is not to say that the bureaucrats of the other Western democracies all know how to run things with ease and smoothness, but more to the point that the "best and brightest" can and are attracted to civil servant roles. Whereas in the US the majority of civil servants are questionable types, with good intentions -- usually. Just ask Rowdy Roddy in Springfield, IL about good intentions for the public good or for himself.

No, Elite Bureaucrats are those men and woman who work for their governments with the kind of leadership and managerial skills one would expect in the most successful of private companies.

Think about what the US would be like if government service wasn't the bastion of those will limited knowledge or limited ambition? Our government would be different, wouldn't it?

And the concept of nationalization would stink like the worst fresh dog shit that you can think of.
