Do you think it was a good idea for Reagan to save Harley Davidson, or do you wish it had just been allowed to die, for an example of free-trade purity in action?
From a free market perspective, of course Harley should have died. If it can’t compete, why does the gov’t need to prop it up?
However, the early 1980s economy was far different then today’s economy. Apples and oranges
Today Harley’s have parts manufactured all over the world. Just like any other major company in America.
Free Traitors™ would rather crash the whole system and have Great Depression II than try protectionism and rebuilding our industrial base.
