I'm reminded of the peace deal brokered between Israel and Egypt: the US basically bribed the two countries not to fight for a few billion a year. Of course, Israel could have paid Egypt, or <i>vice versa</i>, but in this case some third party, the US, took a look at the external cost of the conflict and stepped in. Is there an analogous action in our policy towards domestic manufacturers? If the government were to step in and subsidize healthcare, what concessions would we expect from GM and the UAW?
