Isn't it amazing how fast the government can move when they are motivated by a historic confiscation of private sector power and wealth?
As of this morning, American taxpayers are now the majority shareholder in the newly created Government Motors, which will build the Chevrolet, Cadillac, GMC and Buick brands looking forward. American taxpayers paid over $50 billion for 60.8% of GM. That money was used to save 66,000 American jobs. That comes to $757,575.76 per job saved. A little pricy if you ask me, but we are talking about union jobs here.
By comparison, less than 1% of the Obama-Pelosi "stimulus" package was directed at stimulating small businesses, which account for 98% of all jobs in America.

More than 20,000 GM employees are still headed for the unemployment line, and 1900 GM dealerships (private small businesses) are out of business. 4100 GM dealerships, most of them in Democrat strongholds were saved.
