Ebeling on the Auto Bailout

Richard Ebeling, one of our speakers in November, 2008, has published a comment on the proposed bailout of the Detroit automobile industry. It appeared in the Detroit News.

An excerpt: "However the auto bailout is paid for -- through higher taxes, increased borrowing, or by cranking up the Bureau of Engraving's printing presses -- it amounts to little more than "spreading the wealth" from the rest of us to those who know how to buy political friends wisely."
