How are they going to repay us and show their appreciation? Are they going to have a "thanks for saving our ass sale"?
Thanks for the tip grob, maybe I'll have to try that lol.
 
Yeah I will start by buying a Ford which didn't take any money. GM and Chrysler or off my buying list for the foreseeable future.
 
Been to buy a car lately. All the manufacturers are having that sale. Go get your oil changed at a dealership and walk outside of the service area...they'll beg you to buy a car and name your price.
 
Simple science dictates that if you keep medicating the dying organism, you are standing in the way of evolution. Since the dawn of this country, businesses have risen and died. Brighter minds step up and replace dinosaurs and the public benefits. We will never see any thanks for Obama's thank you UAW handout.
 
I heard people griping about how the government needed to save GM, I heard people griping about how it wasn't the government's business. You can't make everyone happy.
 
The politicians could care less about GM. They used our money to buy the UAW votes. They did the same thing with AIG, because AIG handles the Government Workers and UAW pension funds.
 
technically, the "thanks for saving our *** sale" is that they're still in business. If they had gone out of business completely... well, that would be a bunch of jobs that people would lose which would make our economy even worse than it is already.
 
Liberals want the government to do all for the... I ask liberals this "Did you make yourself successful, or did the government make u successful?"

BTW letting them go into bankruptcy is better than destroying our economy and having our children pay for it...
 
No they have the special Iranian version for you and your ilk, : the Imanutjob. It will be all talk and no action, basically a dud. Just like the Iranian President.
 
No, we loaned GM money - just the same as we did to Wall Street. As you have seen many of the large banks are paying back the money with interest. That is certainly the hope with GM. Whether it will work or not remains to be seen.

As Bush started the bail-out and Obama finished it I'm not sure who you'd like to "blame" but to the millions of people that are still working for GM and all the other companies down the line I'd say it was a difficult but necessary decision.
 
If you were paying attention last week, GM announced openings for 300 jobs on Bloomberg News, and their stock rose by 7% when two other car companies reportedly lost value. There is a tax break of up to $800 in the Stimulus Bill for those who buy American-made cars.
Ten of the 400 banks that received TARP money asked to pay back our Treasury earlier than had been planned---to the tune of $84 billion, which incudes interest on the loans they received. The best way GM and its workers than do is make a good product and then sell that product.
