And their point is...what?

I’m sure a lot of businesses will be failing this year. I guess we need to bail all of them out, right?

RE “If I could get a tax-credit for buying a GM car, I would do it tomorrow.”

Why is this better than just giving them cash? Because the word ‘tax’ is used?

How about if I get a tax credit for breathing?

So GM now stands for

Oh, well. Should’ve made a better automobile. Too bad, so sad.

"October and November were just the worst levels we've seen post-World War II"

A government bailout will increase their sales figures? I don't think so. Sounds like a bad investment to me.

Ok go with Chapter 11. Then you will have reconstruction and renegotiation and see where it takes you.

And there is no reason to expect that it will get better for them any time soon.

What I don’t see in GM’s proposal is a plan to help the 2000 dealerships and their employees they want to close deal with such a drastic solution. It seems to me that scaling down could be accomplished by reducing the demands on the dealerships to load up on inventory, by allowing the dealerships the flexibility of job sharing for employees willing to try it, and by even taking back some inventory. And I have heard nothing about plant conversions or the idea of letting the workers actually buy into the plants so as to become more invested in the whole process.

Sucks to be a recent GM auto buyer expecting them to make good on a warranty.
