Knowing the criminal climate of Washington, I would say that the feds are shifting those funds to GM under the table for a fake "payoff", because, no one will buy their cars as long as they think it's still "Government Motors".
I think it's a big game of "show and tell" and nothing will change. This administration is very good at moving money from one pocket to the other in the same pair of pants.
But, I'm not only boycotting GM, I'm boycotting any car maker that is UNIONIZED. Unions are the "pod people" of socialist; each union is a mini-socialist organization and promoters of mediocracy.
It's all a part of the same syndicate...with obama pulling the strings
