Krauthammer is just brilliant! He says more in 6 small sentences than most authors say in a whole book. And that's just the first six. Then he says this below, and all becomes clear. Again. And Again. The point of the Democratic bailout is to protect the unions by preventing this kind of restructuring. Which will guarantee the continued failure of these companies, but now they will burn tens of billions of taxpayer dollars. It's the ultimate in lemon socialism. Democrats are suggesting, however, an even more ambitious reason to nationalize. Once the government owns Detroit, it can remake it. The euphemism here is "retool" Detroit to make cars for the coming green economy. Liberals have always wanted the auto companies to produce the kind of cars they insist everyone should drive: small, light, green and cute. Now they will have the power to do it. [KLP Note: The worst of it is: They will do this with OUR money!!!]
