Word is that the Obama Administration is looking at driving GM into a controlled bankruptcy to then split the company into two parts, with the more desirable parts being sold to a government-financed company.
Sounds good at first, no?
But…
Who decides what is “more desirable”? Who prices this stuff?
If you’re thinking this sounds like Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner’s TALF idea, well, you might not be alone.
Theoretically, it should be easier to choose winners and losers within a traditional manufacturing industry, but who knows?
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
