Obama to Government Motors: "Let's Roll"

The last remnants of the American free-market system are experiencing a quick death by strangulation. Perhaps the most disturbing casualties of government intervention are General Motors and Chrysler, two disgraced automakers that have gone from private ownership to the public trough virtually overnight. The U.S. government has effectively seized a financial stake in each company while placing both of them into receivership - without any constitutional authority to commence such actions.

Government controls private enterprise. There's an oxymoron for you. Now Obama has mandated that by the year 2016, automobiles must get an average of 35 mpg. Estimates are that this will add $1300 to the price tag of each vehicle.
