The American Way
Hugh Hewitt broadcasts on the right-wing Salem Radio Network. In “The Washington Examiner, he wrote: “I won’t buy a socialist cars which means I won’t be buying a GM or Chrysler. I won’t be visiting a GM or a Chrysler lot no matter the product offered. The very idea of a socialized American car company ought to cause millions of Americans to reject the idea of doing their car shopping at those venues.”
Mr. Hewitt insists, that there’s only one answer for conservatives angry at Obama and the government for getting involved with the automobile industry, and that is a boycott. Apparently, there is a disconnect between Wall Street and Main Street, for Hewitt, who doesn’t mention the bailouts of financial institutions. He ignores Bush’s $700 billion TARP bailout of financial institutions, who were in fact responsible for banks not making car loans. Both GM and Chrysler received $17 billion in government help from the Bush administration, and asked for another $21 billion from the Obama administration. Obama insisted both companies go into bankruptcy to clear away old debt and restructure quickly.
Wall Street doesn’t care if our auto industry fails, because they can exploit the people of other countries, where they don’t have to deal with environmental regulations, unions, standards, an eight-hour work day. We have Americans across this country that used to be in industries, that made furniture, TVs, and appliances. Their jobs have been outsourced, because Wall Street CEO’s don’t mind making deals with communist and fascist dictators overseas. We should be promoting the American way, which stands for democracy, but Wall Street only cares about profits. They’re a bunch of greedy paper shufflers, who make more money by producing products offshore.
Republicans insist, that medical reform is socialized medicine, but every time a person without insurance goes to an emergency room the cost is socialized. The bogeyman term "socialized" was used by the Republican party more than a generation ago, and fortunately they failed in their attempts to prevent Democrats from passing Social Security and Medicare legislation. Today, the Republican party insists, we must not allow the government to come between you and your doctor. Presently, the insurance industry is between you and your doctor, and for 40 years, they’ve been milking consumers for millions of dollars, while denying claims.
