What’s Good for General Motors?

We drove through Spring Hill, Tennessee this afternoon on our way to visit friends in Hampshire and Summertown. General Motors is closing the plant in Spring Hill pretty soon. The decision has been taken to make the planned, small, green, government-mandated GM cars in Detroit rather than in Spring Hill. Here Mickey Kaus explains why this is so. The problem is that the Spring Hill plant makes cars cheaper and better than they do in Detroit, because down here in the benighted South, they are not burdened with UAW union work rules, and gold-plated benefits. Now that the UAW and the Democratic Party own GM, it is time to take revenge on those scabs down in Tennessee.
