It's hyperbole. Making shit up. Lies. Pick your poison... don't be a dittohead, try a little truth testing. You're right. It's ridiculous to think that the Feds would take over the car industry, that the President would ever cross long-established boundaries between government and private enterprise to fire the CEO of General Motors. Pure hyperbole. Oh, wait. It's ridiculous to think that Harry Reid would introduce a bill that federalizes the entire student-loan industry. Oh, wait. It's ridiculous to think that the Nancy Pelosi would introduce a bill to turn 17% percent of the American economy into heavily regulated utilities with the most likely result being the eventual government takeover of the entire sector. Oh, wait. You're right. Truth-testing says the whole idea is ridiculous. Actually it IS ridiculous and fiscally ruinous, but it's being tried anyhow.
