GM employees should be ashamed of themselves.

I will NEVER buy from Obama Motors, EVER.

Look for the Union Label....then BUY an alternative.

They should be giving that 9 Billion back on payment of their loan.

RE :”Hey, good news everybody. Remember that $23 billion that the US government –a.k.a. you- is never going to see back from General Motors? Well, General Motors has done so well this year- in fact, they have enjoyed record-breaking $9 billion profits- that next week they’ll be giving out $7,000 in bonus checks to 47,500 UAW workers who already make about $116,000 dollars per year in total wages and benefits (with about $58,000 of that in just wages and the rest in benefits). It’s good to be the 99%: You get a fat $7k bonus, plus $100k+ a year. Too bad GM is so broke that they can’t afford to pay the US government back the $23 billion they still owe us. Maybe the next time they make record-breaking profits? I guess some get to be more 99% than others.”

The glowing MSM reports about this ‘success’ ignore this 23 B$. In fact I haven't heard either Romney or Santorum cite it yesterday when the MSM challenged them for being against the GM bailout. (Maybe it's the Michigan primary coming up). No wonder this bailout is now polling high in approval with no one making the case that TH does above.

47,500 UAW workers living better on the backs of Americans.

I will wait to hear a defense of this from the ban all imports and only buy “made here” crowd. This debacle is a natural outcome of protecting any business. The problem isn’t GM or the UAW it’s the politically driven policy of protecting one class of voters over another.

In an earlier era the government would have just erected some import barriers which would have raised car prices. But the Big Three are global so that strategy would not work in this era. This time the government went the direct route and took our money from us and just gave it directly to them.

They get the bonus only if they give 50% of it back to the UAW PAC fund that is run by Obama’s Chicago Mob...

I’m sure my inability to afford a new vehicle (or about anything else) is exactly what is intended by our socialist betters... but if I am EVER in the position to do so for a second time in my friggin worthless life, it will NOT be a company I’ve already paid against my will. FUGM. FUBO.
