Rank Amateur Finds Comfort With Other Rank Amateurs


A bit of late blogging on this one. Its the NYT story about 31 year old political appointee Brian Deese -

- who is not schooled in economics,

- who has no experience in business,

- who has never met a payroll

- who has heard of Wall St. but never been there,

- who has no association with the automobile industry beyond occasionally driving a car, and

- whose entire work resume consists of working on political campaigns,

and who is now, in the words of the NYT, Obama's go-to guy "in charge of "dismantling General Motors and rewriting the rules of American capitalism.".

This is beyond comprehension. Is anyone going to start holding Obama to account before he completely destroys us.

This guy is nothing but a hack and a stooge.

So is his boss.

I pray for this country.

He'll destroy the old-guard auto industry by this. It will be no more effective now than it was for the UK auto industry in the 1970s.

Had it been successful, you would now be able to go out and buy a new MG, Triumph, or Jaguar.

And the only reason you can still buy a Jag is because someone outside the UK bought the marque and has continued it (and it's been sold and re-sold several times since -- soon it will go the same way as Oldsmobile).

With every day, it feels like we're stepping more and more into the world of Atlas Shrugged. It's quite eery.
