A View on the Auto Bailout
Well, it is pretty easy to blame the state of the US automotive industry on a combination of management, dealers, and organized labor. It’s not like the circumstances just crept up on everyone overnight – they had at least 4 decades of notice. But, let’s elevate the debate and discuss the real villain in the process.
