The Rule of Law may not be a dead letter in the United States, but it is definitely on life support. The Obama administration’s Unconstitutional manipulation of the Chrysler bankruptcy to reward its political allies, not only poses a threat to the rule of law and Constitutional order, it also creates a dangerous precedent of government voiding legal contracts. A secondary effect of government’s Unconstitutional meddling in contracts is lack of certainty that some or any future contracts will be honored. This will have a chilling effect on any organization that seeks to raise money through the issuance of bonds – whether business, state or local.

If our so-called leaders have their way, you will soon be able to drive your Government Motors (GM) automobile down to the government doctors office. Never mind that the government mandate for a “unique health identifier” eliminates privacy for your “confidential” medical records. Pay no attention to the fact that electronic medical records are covered by the Orwellian-named “medical privacy rule” that allows government officials and state-favored special interests to view your private medical records without your consent. Don’t worry, government doesn’t want to run auto companies, or health care. Government-approved health insurance is for your own good, and won’t lead to price controls or limitations on the services you can receive from your doctor. Your doctor won’t opt out of receiving government money by becoming a cash only office and leave you scrambling to find a new doctor. No, everything is just fine. Now get back in your Government Motors vehicle, drive down to the government doctor, and wait in line. The doctor will be with you as soon as possible.

With General Motors quickly making its transformation to Government Motors, I have made the decision not to buy any GM products. For that matter, I don’t intend to use any products related to GM either – for example, Ally Bank – formerly GMAC bank. It may seem a small thing, but it is a necessary, albeit small blow against the government takeover of vast swaths of the United States Economy.

The democracy will cease to exist when you take away from those who are willing to work and give to those who would not.
