Pelosi will simplify life for herself as soon as she realizes the Detroit auto makers are merely the conduit through which union auto workers receive compensation (in amounts that–including wages, health care, and pensions–currently average over 72 dollars an hour.)

She has a vested interest in keeping these people happy, not so much keeping the auto makers afloat. So the best solution would be to bail out the workers directly, cut out the middle man and save taxpayers the difference. Perhaps these same workers could be persuaded to stay home or fill their time with other activities for, say, two-thirds of what they make now.

You say you want a revolution
Well you know
We’d all want to change the world…

If we’re gonna have a revolution, let’s at least have a green revolution.
