Ok so this might not actually happen, but I feel like we are getting close. The U.S. Government for all intensive purposes has take over Chrysler who has been forced to file for bankruptcy. The Federal Government is backing Chrysler’s lifetime warranties in addition to the billions in loans it has already made.
Governments are notoriously bad at producing or managing just about anything. So my hope is that with Chrysler (and probably GM) we just let “nature take its course” the company’s will survive, die, or come back minus their unprofitable parts.
These days we like to assign blame for just about everything, so I will do my best to uphold the Status Quo.
Who to blame for Chrysler’s Bankruptcy:
1. Chrysler’s Management, can they even build a competitive (small) car?
2. Unions, artificially high wages push costs unacceptable levels.
3. The Economy, but lets face it recessions happen, Chrysler should have position themselves to weather the storm.
