IS THIS OBAMANATION MOTORS? -- Just a Minute Radio for 06-03-09

            Howdy… It’s rite in the “middow” of the week – as my first grandson used to say –

 

            And we’re in the MIDDOW of a MESS according to the folks at Earl ‘n’ Lester’s Bait Shop and Sushi Bar rite there on the Carolina Line. I read about some BIG catfish being caught last week – now we’ll hear the stories from the auto world entitled “The ONE that Got Away.” I’ve heard speculation they didn’t do enough. Should have bought *all* three *then* we’d have penned up the customers for sure and they couldn’t get away.

 

            Seems like these socialistic economists never figure out they’re dealing with ‘real people’ not lines on a graph or numbers on a chart. And people are wonderfully inventive. Here’s a question – Who sits down and figures out how much fresh milk needs to be delivered in New York City tomorrow?  Oh… let’s appoint a blue ribbon, multi-partisan high commission to make it happen.

 

            The answer is: it happens! It happens by itself without any government telling each dairy how much to produce and haul. It’s a function called “the market” – Adam Smith – a Scottish Moral Philosopher – Born 286 years ago wrote his magnum opus laying out the mechanisms of economics at work as people went about looking after their own interests. It’s not perfect because we’re not perfect.  But it’s better than having the government decide how many of which cars at what price to build. If you want to see some spectacular failures in the auto business – examine the manufacturers of Eastern Europe’s socialist countries. Some cars were actually built out of plastic covered cardboard – they say the junk yards of Eastern Europe are full of those hulks.

 

            So… after the Mighty “O” gets through with us – maybe a good business to be in would be Junk. Think about it.

 

            Cordially, IN HIM
