Ross Perot tried to straighten them out many years ago when he was on the board of GM. Paid him many $many millions to go away and shut up. Kind of wishing now I’d bought a Tundra (made in TX.) or Titan (made in MS.) instead of the Silverado. Maxima or Camry instead of Saturn (wifes ride). $80,000 worth of union made stuff last summer. Sorry Freepers, I knew not what I was doing. I like my truck, but now feel kind of dirty in it.

Obama: Auto industry collapse would be 'a disaster'

Well it would be, for the union thugs.

What does one expect from someone missing at least one wheel.

If the freakin’ federal government is so worried about the big three - they should just by up all the stock. Current market cap for BOTH GM and Ford combined is only $6.2 Billion - a whole $hitload less than $25B that will last them all of about 3 months until they're back for more. Let Nancy and Harry run the show. That should be amusing.

The only disaster I see is that POS being elected President.

Obama makes the outrageous claim that the AUTO INDUSTRY will go out of business if GM is not bailed out.

Nissan, Toyota, and Honda are holding up well. In fact, the bailout of GM will hurt these other automakers because part of the plan is to force these profitable automakers to do business the same as GM and to unionize.
