Goodbye Companies, Hello Government!

Changing .com to .gov

Wall Street Jump

The United States government is intent on throwing good money after bad to save reckless and unsustainable companies like GM and Chrysler who are now asking for nearly $30 billion in taxpayer money while closing plants and laying workers off.

The auto bailout issue makes me see red but it’s really only the tip of the iceberg.  All said and done, spending due to the financial crisis will reach nearly $2 trillion.  That’s $2,000,000,000,000. 

American companies have no qualms going to Congress with their hat in their hand pleading for money and Congress–always the sugar daddy–seems to have no problem writing the check, at our expense.

I propose…

…that every company that accepts federal bailout money change their corporate websites from a .com domain to a .gov domain.  That way we American taxpayers know which companies we have been forced to have a stake in.
