Rescuing Cars

As the population grows then the perceived need for cars grows. The fact that overpopulation (2008) is having its impact on the employment of that population is not even considered. More people and more debt with a decrease in wealth. The movement of wealth to the minority continues and the majority which has the dwindling wealth is expected to buy the cars that roll off the production lines. Reality is different.

Cars continue to be built, but the potential buyers are decreasing. The car manufacturers build cars with the potential to be faster (if driven in that way - DA) and are consequently less efficient cars. The wake-up call happened some while ago. The sale of cars has become more difficult.

Too expensive to buy
 Too expensive to run

Simple really, but the failure of the manufacturers to remain viable was inevitable, yet now requires public money to rescue the bad management. Government will put public money into these concerns to keep them liquid, not accepting that they make articles that fewer people want or can afford. Deferment and procrastination again. Putting off until tomorrow that which should be faced today.

But new government. New solutions. Old joke. The problem will only get worse and the population of consumers will continue to grow. Taxpayer bail-outs appear to stem the flow, but in reality it's straightforward denial of the problem.

Overpopulation and over production of objects that nobody can afford or wants. The pyramid grows upside down. Getting bigger and more and more unstable. The ultimate crash is almost here. And is absolutely inevitable. Politicians without vision has always been the single and most dangerous scenario (the opposite can equally apply - DA).

Nothing really changes, unless it's something that goes from bad -> worse. Talking up an issue does not make that issue disappear or improve. It can only remain unchanged.
