Here we go again

Well thanks to all the environmentalists and the government for putting so many regulations on this country's businesses, GM is officially going to close down four of it's manufacturing plants. Two in the United States, one in Canada, and one in Mexico. In my mind, this is a shame. The government's overwhelming urge to control everything and tax everything in this country is slowly destroying it. Over taxation and regulation and the lack of energy independence is driving up energy prices and it's making it that much harder for any business to stay around in this country. One of the examples being the four plants that GM is shutting down.  They are light truck and SUV plants. They are shutting these plants down because of the rise in gasoline costs.  No one can afford these types of vehicles any longer.  This is understandable but guess what?  Because people in this country are so concerned with protecting the polar bear and the spotted owl and forcing us to kiss the ass of the countries that we buy our oil from, not to mention most of these countries hate us, we have to force these plants to shut down.  It's beyond scary that the environmentalists have the power to shut down a company like GM. I hope these people are happy because I'm sure the polar bears couldn't give two shits that all the people who worked in those plants are now unemployed.  And what about the towns that these plants are in?  These plants employ hundreds of people.  The economies of these small towns are going to be affected by this too.  I'm ashamed that some people care more about some f-ing tree or fuzzy animal than they do about their own people, who have families to support and do the work that helps drive this economy.  Sorry, just venting.
