Wait until GM goes bankrupt AFTER the taxpayer's are forced to bail them out! All those union workers are going to be po'd (including the retirees) when their pensions, health-care, etc. has disappeared.
I heard a guy on the radio who predicted both the stock market crash of the late 1980s and the current debacle. He said this current economic crisis could possibly surpass the last depression. He foresees a total collapse of the economy, food riots, martial law, etc. He may be an alarmist, but I think we are definately in deep economic doo-doo. At the very least, I think we will see a return of the stagflation of the Carter years.
