Tough Love for Detroit

This is something that should satisfy those critical of too many free bailouts. Any company that comes, hat in hand, for government assistance should be expected to pay a price for that. On Detroit, Laurie David has this:

If Detroit needs more taxpayer bailouts to survive, we ought to demand some serious and real concessions in return, starting with an immediate cease-and-desist order for Detroit to drop its lawsuits against California, Vermont, Rhode Island, New Mexico and any other state that passes clean cars legislation requiring more efficient, less polluting vehicles. Enough already, Detroit. Stop fighting and start building clean cars now.
