Bailout Resources
The world’s attention over the past three months has been focused on bailout discussions in Congress, first for the mortgage and banking industry and now for the Big Three automakers. The Mackinac Center has been a mainstay during this time for providing cogent, timely analysis, but the issues run much deeper, particularly for the problems facing American automobile manufacturers. The Center also has written about those issues, ranging from union costs to free trade to government mandates. Below is a compilation of the Center’s interviews and commentary.
