So when GM begged for a taxpayer bailout, the GOP demanded that they break their contracts with the union, and force down wages; This was a good thing, we were told, in order to make GM more competitive, and if the worlkers didn’t like it, they shouldn’t have come beggin in the first place.

When GM returned to beg for a second helping, the President made the charity conditional on replacing the CEO; this we are told, is an outrageous affront to liberty, a threat to freedom and democracy.

Is this really the logic Roger wishes to pursue?
