Know It All Politicians

It never ceases to amaze me how politicians can be so certain of their conclusions. In the current controversy about whether or not to bail out the auto industry, both sides are so sure of their positions that it is scary. The Neocon free trader, let the market rule bunch say that the only thing to do is to let the big three go bankrupt, let the market rule. The other side says no, that if we let the big three co bankrupt, that will pitch us into a depression, put millions of people out of work, and we can't afford to let this happen. There are more issues than those mentioned above. There is the issue of our national security, of our ability to support ourselves and produce what we need. The auto industry is one of our last that produces any industrial products. Try to buy an American made TV or radio. Hell, we can't even clothe ourselves!

The only thing that I have not heard these know it all politicians and pundits say is "What if I am wrong, what are the consequences of my being wrong"? Don't hold your breath waiting for these arrogant SOBs to even suggest that they could be wrong. Someone needs to do an analysis of the possible alternatives and outcomes.
