How come we taxpayers own GM instead of Ford??
Because they took Obama’s bail out trap,with the Ford news today I bet Obama’s dog got kicked .
Because if we owned Ford instead of GM, it would be GM experiencing an up trend. ;-)
If my next car is American-made, it'll be a Ford. Anything by Chrysler or GM is off the table, not even going to be considered. The only reason I wouldn't go with a Ford would be based on price/performance/features/quality - they'll have to compete-for and win my dollars. You know, that free market system/idea that seems to escape our "liberal" friends. (or cause them to recoil in horror)
The govt always makes LOSING bets!
Because Ford has competent management and creates quality products that people want to buy. GM and Chrysler didn't.
We don't own squat. GM was bought by union/government thugs with OUR stolen tax money.
GM should be liquidated, and the proceeds should go to the stakeholders as outlined in standard bankruptcy proceedings.
I still won't allow one of their POS fascistmobiles to enter my driveway.
Go, Ford!
Because the Ford family has been gradually reducing the outside ownership of its corporate shares by buying them back. This and the fact that Ford didn’t ask for any help during the downturn (be careful what you ask for...) helped keep it in private hands.
