Does anybody still think that the auto bailout was a good idea or was successful? Even if you agree with it in principal, can we at least agree that the execution was horribly, horribly, flawed and blatantly biased in favor of the UAW?

You do know the WSJ is a Rupert Murdoch rag and has about as much credibility as fox news right?

Completely disregard article.

^^ Do you actually have anything to refute what's in this article or do you just dislike the source?

To be fair to the WSJ, this is clearly marked as an Opinion piece. No more fair to hold the WSJ to task for this opinion than the NYT for David Brooks thoughts and opinions.

Remember that time GM almost collapsed and now it's the largest automaker by sales in the world again?

Remember the time when they would have been forced to restructure and downsize without help from the gov't?

Yeah I don't either.

Indeed, it's too bad so many jobs were kept.

Don't worry, we'll be able to rehash this all again in another 10-15 years or so when they and the UAW fail to learn from any of their previous mistakes.

^^ maybe next time we can all just hold hands and sing songs to fix things.

Not sure what that has to do with spending billions of dollars to fix things, but ok.
