General Motors has posted its most profitable year ever in 2011, coming a long way since being bailed out in 2008 and going bankrupt in 2009... And as a reward of the banner year, GM "says union workers will get $7,000 profit-sharing checks."

You purchased the better product and the resale value is going to be way better than a Chevy.

So let me get this straight... They are giving union hacks bonuses while still owing the taxpayers billions...and the media thinks this is a good thing?

We are so screwed.

I just bought a new pickup. The bailout issue primarily was the reason I chose a Toyota. I had driven Chevy’s all my life before.

That's good...You won't have to worry about American blue collar workers getting more money than you think they deserve...All that extra cash will go straight to Japan...

all these union members are about to become democrat donors, using tax payer dollars.. again

And the bankers are about to become Republican donors, using taxpayer dollars, again...

Problem is, there are a far sight more Democrat union members than there are Republican bankers...

Not too tough to figure out who has the better strategy...

I watched most of one stumped speech Romney made in Michigan and he did not say it worked. He says that an orderly bankruptcy would have had the same result. He said it was a give away to the unions.

So, the combination of not paying any corporate taxes, not paying back tax payers for TARP or their multiple Bailouts, robbing the bond holders and GM China having a bumper year, we now have claims of profit...and that’s a model for corporate success! Yeah...right....I wonder if any Chinese GM workers are getting a tax payer bonus??
