If my Toyota truck suddenly accelerates out of control on Route 7 it won’t be because of a sticking pedal.

It’ll be my reflexive reaction to hearing yet another radio broadcast that one of America’s worst-run organizations – Congress – is still scolding one of the world’s best-run organizations – Toyota.

Reports are Toyota officials will be called before the House Energy and Commerce Committee, chaired by Rep. Henry A. Waxman (D-Cal.), to address unnecessary questions from grandstanding congressmen about the accelerator pedal recall.

If for a moment the world was perfectly just, the Toyota people, upon arriving at the hearing, would grab Waxman by his nose, yank him out of his cushy chair and toss him across the ornate room into a witness chair. Then they’d do the same thing to every member of that commitee, Democrats and Republicans.

After turning the tables, here’s what they’d say to these congressional numskulls: “You’re all fired for incompetence. And don’t send your resumes to Toyota.”

Toyota has been one of the most reputable car companies in the world for decades. It builds innovative, high quality, durable, reliable, affordable cars and trucks. Unlike Government Motors (GM), Toyota didn’t need to be bailed out and taken over by the federal government. Unlike the federal government, Toyota doesn’t irresponsibly spend more money than it takes in – much less trillions more. And because Toyota seeks to outperform its competition, it’ll correct this mistake, restore its image and resume its success.

And what about Congress: Does it have a good reputation? Does it learn from its mistakes? Is it responsible managing the hard-earned money it receives from taxpayers? Does it focus its time trying to solve big problems, like runaway deficit-spending and the future of social security, and not wasting its time meddling in the business of well-run companies? No. No. No. No.

There’s a much more serious sticking accelerator pedal than Toyota’s: It’s the pedal Congress depresses to spend money. At least Toyota cars have brakes; who’s stopping the fools in Congress? Toyota is certain to fix its problem irrespective of nagging by Congress, which is almost just as certain not to fix its own bigger problem.
