If Liberals had real life experience they would be Consertives

George McGovern, once one of the most liberal members of the Senate, ran for President as a liberal. His voting record followed the liberal agenda. Pro environment, pro poor people, pro union, pro worker, anti business, anti war, etc. Several years later he opened a bed and breakfast - hotel in Conn. His feelings changed after he had to live with the rules and regulation. He made the statement that had he owned a business before he ran for office his voting record would have been different.

It is something to think about when you go to vote. One experience changed Geroge McGovern's way of thinging about some of the government regulation. As the article states a quote from Herbert Hoover and it is still true today "The business of America is Busienss" In order for the economy to grow they must produce something. Government jobs do not produce a product and do not help the economy grow. What would happen if the government removed the restrictions on the Auto Industry and allowed them to make the type of vehicles the public wanted to buy without mileage restrictions on them. Back in the 1970's and 80's we had a gasoline shortage and people started to buy smaller cars and cars that would last longer. The foreign carcompanies stepped in and met the demand while the US Auto industry started to change but they were locked into Union Contracts and government regulations that prevent them from updating their production equiptment. One of the reasons the Saturn Car Company was introduced by GM was that the got out from the Union Contracts and allowed the company to build a state of the art facility. US Car companies joned with foreign companies and built new modern factories in the US so they could compete with the imports. New smaller cars were introduced and some of the public bought them but others still wanted a larger vehicle. Now the government is trying to kill off what is left of the auto industry with unbleiveable demands being placed on them. They are going to have to produce a vehicle that the public does not want at this time. When you have worked in the private sector and had to make a payroll you understand how expensives the government regulations are and how little they really do to acheive what they are suspose to acheive.
