Jobs Destroyed, Not Saved Or Created

Jobs Destroyed, Not Saved Or Created

Chalk this one up to the category of jobs destroyed by Obama (emphasis mine):

The Obama administration’s push to accelerate General Motors Co. and Chrysler Group LLC dealership closings, aimed at helping the companies compete, may not have been necessary and added to unemployment, a U.S. watchdog said.

The Treasury Department should have considered whether speeding up the closings was worth the potential loss of tens of thousands of jobs, according to a report released yesterday by Neil Barofsky, special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program.

The U.S. had rejected reorganization plans from the carmakers in March 2009, in part citing a “slow pace” for GM to scale back its dealer network.

Remember, the Obama administration strong-armed GM and Chrysler creditors and bond holders to give up their legal rights which would have attached in a normal Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Chapter 11 is the method by which many industries have restructured and emerged stronger.

Obama was in such a rush that his efforts — according to his own Treasury Dept. — likely cost tens of thousands of jobs unnecessarily, as dealerships around the country were closed on almost no notice.

Quite a shot by team Obama. With one stone Obama damaged the rule of law in this country and put tens of thousands of people out of work.

Great job, hot shot.
