Federal Bailout of GM Still Horribly Wrong | Cato @ Liberty

Federal Bailout of GM Still Horribly Wrong | Cato:

Our friends at The Economist magazine usually talk good sense about free trade and free markets, which makes their retrospective endorsement of the government bailout of General Motors all the more disappointing.

In a leader in the current issue, the editors write that critics of the bailout (count Cato scholars among them) owe President Obama an apology. “His takeover of GM could have gone horribly wrong, but it has not,” they opine."
