As GM goes, so goes the rest of the economy. GM has failed to design efficient cars in favor of gas guzzler SUV( this time it is not a slam against SUV drivers :) ). Combine the facts that the unions, GM execs, product line-up, is way out of wack, it does not look good for GM and the economy as a whole.

I wonder is the Feds will prop up GM if a colapse occurs?

I don't claim to be an expert on the auto business. However, I've owned GM products for many years, just purchased a new Yucon XL (by fourth) and it's an excellent vehicle for my purposes.

GM needs to rid itself of the union wages and benefits problem to be competitive IMO. I believe that will now happen. If the company needs help to come through this I would support a Fed loan for restructuring. Just my opinion.

Well now how do you suppose that could happen? How could GM sell SUVs without any buyers? That's like sayting you support the troops but not the war.
