All the argument about the internal plumbing and who makes how much doesn't matter. What matters is what turnpike boy said and one other point - In addition to making a lot of what people don't want to buy these guys loose money while the the other manufacturers don't. After selling essentially the same number of cars as Toyota during the same time window, GM succeeded in loosing $35MM while Toyota made $17MM! Ahem!

Who knows loosing money might even be associated with building stuff no one wants (ya think!). Bottom line is most Americans don't care why, we just want them to fix the result - don't really care how they do it as long as it's not with our tax dollars. If it takes BK, then hot damn lets git it on but lets also stop all the whining and sniveling. You made your current bed - now you got to sleep in it.

Make the next one better!

p.s. Attaboys to the Republicans who shot this turkey down.

p.p.s When you get in your car to go anywhere tomorrow check out the first ten cars you see and count how many are domestic. If you think ten is not enough count a bigger number. Now what's wrong with this picture?

edit was for spelling arghhh
