Because GM and Chrysler are not Democracies. Never have been. When they chose to take federal funds knowingly agreed to submit to federal control.

The next point might expose where our ideologies diverge, or maybe not, if you really think about it;

Governments are not businesses. And never should be. Businesses are autocratic, command and control by nature. In government, we call this dictatorship.

Yes, the town/city recieves funds from the state. But have the citizenry voted to allow state seizure of their local government? Did they petition the state to oust their local government?

No. It was thrust upon them.

And, as I understand it from the couple hours I spent reading up on it yesterday, there may be other motivations involved other than simply "rescuing" a beleaguered town.

There are plenty of beleaguered towns in this country that no one seems to give a hoot about. They don't have prime lake-front acreage..................
