A Prediction

I believe that the federal government is going to start investigating Ford, Nissan, Honda and any other competitors to General Motors and Chrylser, using the Toyota gas pedal problem as an excuse. This is how the federal government runs business - through sneaky, shady dealings. This is not how businesses are run in this country. This is not how the free market works. Will this force consumers to buy GM products? No, it is just going to make people angrier than they already are. The federal government needs to grow up and act like adults, not vengeful children.

--------------------------

I didn't have long to wait - it was announced this afternoon on ABC News that the U.S. government regulatory group that keeps track of public safety will be investigating suppliers to Ford, Nissan, and Honda. No mention investigating General Motors and Chrysler.
