Please list the ways we have benefited from this ? Now telling someone that they don't deserve there wages , heath care and pensions by someone else is what ? I have sold GM cars for 36 years and I have watch this demise and it is terrible and uncalled for . Japan ,Korea and China has abused are laws and now we owe them billions . If you can not hear the big sucking sound by now your deaf. Thanks U S goverment , now please tell us how to run are business.

Then you know that the last inovative thing GM did was the Corvair.Possible exception is the Fiero.GM has "screwed-the-pooch" for almost 35 years.It took them over 50 years to FINALLY get the Corvette right.In the late 60's they were warned when Datsun launched the 510,the 620 mini pick-up and the Z-car and hit one out of the park.Did they listen?Nope.The arrogance of the"here we built you a car,now buy it!!"attitude is still oozing from 14th floor today.


Detroit's problem is completely,100% SELF CAUSED.
