Auto Diplomacy

Jennifer Rubin: "You’d think the threat of a nuclear-armed Iran would require at least the same level of robust action and no-nonsense pressure being applied to a domestic car company."


Why? Pushing Iran like that doesn't help further Obama's plans to give a “tectonic change in the relationship between business and government.”

Hmm... odds that such a tectonic change will decrease government interferance in your life or help the economy run better with less corruption?

Roger Kimball continues

A “tectonic change in the relationship between business and government.” Time was, the role of government in a capitalist society was primarily to secure an environment in which private enterprise could thrive. Today, the role of government is increasingly to nationalize private enterprise, i.e., destroy it in the name of a “higher” good, a “new era of responsibility” in which government bureaucrats tell you how to run your business and whom to employ.
