I feel like the author of this piece read my mind. It begins with Obama's trashing of the auto industry, a situation that trashed my life as well even though we didn't own a GMC dealership, the dealerships we owned and all dealerships nationwide suffered immensely. That is a story for another day, but I'll note that hundreds if not thousands of especially small family owned dealerships like ours are gone forever, outsidie of those Chrysler/GMC closures directly caused by Obama's take over. Cash for Clunkers was the final straw that sealed our fate and the fate of thousands of other lives. It was devestating and it was just the beginning of the assault on America by the left through Obama that we have experienced on a daily basis since then.
As the author, Judi McLeod, states:
“Out of work!” was about to become America’s main mantra, a mantra that continues to the present day.
According to the Times, the Treasury Department—which started the raid on car dealerships—failed to monitor the wrecking ball process.
There were cries of outrage from all sides in a rushing white noise, some more sincere than others.
Representative Darrell Isaa, outspoken Republican of California, rallied: “This sobering report should serve as a wake-up call as to the implications of politically orchestrated bailouts and how putting decisions about private enterprise in the hands of political appointees and bureaucrats can lead to costly and unintended consequences”.
Problem is that the sobering report did not serve as a wake-up call.
It’s four years later and now it is known that the IRS, has been using its power to put people out of business, purportedly unknown to the president until he “read it in the newspapers”.
Republicans Mike Kelly (PA-03) and Jim Renacci (OH-16) are circulating a letter requesting Treasury Secretary Jack Lew to release documents detailing the process and methodology the Automotive Task Force used to shut down General Motors dealerships in 2009 during the automotive industry crisis.
They’re more than four years too late.
Massive government intrusion into an already recession-bound private sector will never be resolved by letters to other politicians sent out by politicians. It won’t be stopped by pleading letters from constituents to impervious congressmen who just want to go along to get along. It won’t even be stopped as a result of bold, well-meaning statements by Darrell Issa.
If there is one thing all should have learned since 2009 it is that nothing is changing to relieve America from the clear and present danger that is Barack Hussein Obama.
This article hits home. Millions of Americans are crying out for this nation to be saved. Whether anyone on earth who can help us is listening or not, I beg for God to hear us.
