Obama’s ‘Best Investment’
Was Crony Socialism

From libertarian Michael A. LaFerrara at Principled Perspectives:

The New Jersey Star-Ledger labeled the General Motors bailout “arguably Obama’s best investment”:

[H]istory will show that the industry is thriving because it had a government that trusted it could redefine itself back in 2009 – the year President Obama refused to let General Motors and Chrysler die by completing a $79.7 billion bailout that saved the two companies and their parts suppliers – along with the one million jobs that depended on them.

I left these comments:

It doesn’t take an economist to see the fallacy in the alleged “success’ of the GM bailout. It just takes some knowledge of basic economics, a proper moral compass, and the willingness to think.
