You have to look at it in a politcal sense, GM is being used by the government for it's purpose and will be used up and tossed on the trash heap. Don't look for economic sense here
If the government were interested in it's success it would have made cash for clunkers purely for domestic cars
"Change we can be Naive in"
GM is the host that the unions are sucking the last bit of life out of, until they discard the empty husk of a once great business and look for it's next victim
He's going to raise taxes on the rich
Tax the health care companies
FORCE people to buy insurance of FORCE them to pay 3800/year
and get this
He's going to get rid of waste and fraud in Medicare/Medicade
