What is conflict of interest?

Isn't there a huge conflict of interest with government and what they're doing to Toyota?

• As I see and hear what's going on, oh how horrid Toyotas are now and that they might zoom ahead and crash into something. And maybe there is something legitimately wrong and Toyota should be given all the grief they are getting now, but isn't there a huge conflict of interest here? I mean Government just acquired ownership of, I think, GMC and Chrysler and are now in direct competition with Toyota. Then something happens, and suddenly, not more than what a couple months after government acquires these automakers, and they are tagging Toyota with the biggest ever whatever against Toyota, which in turn causes Toyota to make the biggest ever recall, and you know that government is only going to benefit from all of this because Toyota is a huge competitor of any U.S. automaker. I mean this is huge conflict of interest. Maybe Toyota deserves all of this, or maybe the Democrats, since they control government right now, are throwing money around under-the-table, and using their loyal media, and calling in some favors to blow this Toyota issue to absurd proportions so that a significant number of us stop buying Toyotas and by effect will shop more at GMC and Chrysler. At the very least, all this litigation against Toyota can only help government in their new automaker business. And that's the conflict of interest. How can we really know if Toyota is messing up or that government isn't just using an underhanded business/monopolistic tactic of slandering their enemy. They're obviously doing it through all the proper channels, so who can say whether government is being honest or dishonest in it's dealings with Toyota. It's obvious that since the campaign and even during Bush's time, that the majority of news media has already proven willing to omit information or spin the unavoidable the other way so that it won't hurt the Democrat party in the electorate's eyes. So how do we really know? What do you think?

• Answer:

  Socialism controls the lives of everyone under it.. That is what is happening.. We will have the Obama-car soon I think Toyota makes a good car and they are having a problem right now. They will work it out if the govt lets them alone. That is why they are not being let alone. Obama care and now the Obama car. What more could we ask for. maybe the latest new plane to add to the Air Force fleet will the the Obomber, then they will drop Obunker busters on Iran. P
