Shouldn't have pussy-footed around and just nationalized them. Too bad politicians are cowards, and it's too bad the far-right extremists like Fox and Limbaugh control the political debate.
I agree, the auto companies could have been privatized after the recession too.

When was the last time you saw a big strike?

True, and the reason that there aren't any is because unions have been severely weakened and the balance of power in the labor-management relationship has now tipped strongly in favor of management, instead of being at roughly equilibrium as it was 30 or 40 years ago.
Exactly, I think that this has as much to do with Reagan weakening unions as it did with unions becoming more redundant.
