Step right up with hat in hand and palm out. Dear Mr Government, so sorry that I loved the capitalist system and enjoyed its fruit for over 100 years, but now times are tough, brother could you spare a billion? Is this what we have come to. When the free market pushed back on government with the modern day dont tread on me lines, we now find ourselves at their mercy. The government I guess is now our insurance policy. Was Marx right all along, if so please feel that tremble under your feet because you do not want to swallow the Marx medicine anytime soon. I read now that automobile parts suppliers will need billions from the government but I do see that Ford wants nothing to do with it and good for them. Perhaps they will be the golden child in the new business textbooks to be written on how the weather the storm without a war to bail you out nor a government with their string-tied money.

Nothing like have the likes of our wonderful Senators at your board meeting. Then there is GM which said in the WSJ in re the billions for suppliers, “Wll help reduce the risk of vehicle production disruptions.” OK, the reason their is a disruption is because no one wants to buy your car. If they did, you would have good suppliers. Oversimplified you say? No, let the market forces do their work or do not get in the game. So now my next goal is to come up with a do dad government cozy item like you see around coke cans. What will they look like??
