Yesterday, in his announcement about the auto industry and the ouster of GM’s CEO, President Obama said, “The United States government has no interest in running GM. We have no intention of running GM.” Sounds good.

That same day, a bill was introduced in the Senate to require air carriers to provide training for flight attendants and gate attendants regarding serving alcohol, recognizing intoxicated passengers, and dealing with disruptive passengers.

The President may think that the U.S. government can’t run the auto industry, but someone in Congress thinks the government can run the commercial air travel industry.
