Washington to Detroit: Drop Dead
$650 million in tax incentives and other prizes for Mercedes-Benz, Honda, Hyundai and Toyota
The glee with which the Washington establishment - and every two-bit instant car “expert” who decided it was high time to weigh-in with his or her opinions - attacked Detroit and what’s left of the U.S. car industry last week was a sight to behold.
