Well, they should put THIS in their business plans....step one....MOVE OFFSHORE WITH ALL CONSTRUCTION JOBS. That would solve many problems they created for themselves....now who are the unions going to extort money from??
The have stated that they just build a second plant in India and are going to invest in China. No bail out money for foreign countries. NO NO NO!

No, I’m not with the Posting Police. I’m just sharing the comments from another thread.
Stuff like this is great. Of course those operations make money, only taxpayers are dying to throw good money after bad,
If we give money to the auto makers, it must be stated that the money stays here and nothing goes offshore for any reason.
Where do you think Ford cars will come from at our dealers when the unions drive them out of the US. Before they declare bankruptcy, they will spin off all international operations into an independent company, and just file on the US operations. In a year, all the Fords on the lot will be Rio or Sao Palo metal instead of Detroit metal.
Yeah, sounds about right.
And Republican elite, country club financiers and investors.
So, what's new under the sun?

Car dealer: Buy 1 car, get 2nd for $1
Frank Mancari started the deal on Saturday as a way to get people calling, booking appointments and visiting his Oak Lawn car lot at a time when many car dealerships are struggling to draw in customers.
"It's a once in a lifetime opportunity," Mancari said today, with an enthusiasm only a car salesman can muster. "There's no secret: the industry is slow right now. We're trying to generate activity with a great deal."
It works like this: Mancari said he wants to move the 2008 Pacificas off his lot. Those in stock are priced at $37,000 to $40,000, he said. The vehicles are larger, SUV-style, family luxury cars, he said. The PT Cruiser is also new but has low-mileage, and would give the buyer a more economical vehicle too.
"It's a great deal," Mancari said. "These are two great cars."
Mancari had five 2008 Pacificas on his lot, 4630 95th St. in the southwest suburb, Monday afternoon. Once they are all sold, the offer ends.

GM once built a fine product, now all they seem to tout is a glorified cell phone (OnStar)
They need to offshore their bailout!
I believe that the GM Executives know that their survival depends on eventually not making any cars in a UAW Plant. They wont tell the UAW that and they wont tell the Congress that, but that is the strategic business plan they cant share in public. They are between a rock and a hard place if sales hit bottom in the next couple of months.
The REAL problem is the $73 per hour (including benefits) a UAW worker makes doing a job a monkey could do. (Robots do the tough jobs). Let GM in Michigan go belly up, screw the Unions. Build GM cars in Mexico ( maybe keeping illegals there) GM becomes an import. Big Deal. UNIONS KILLED DETROIT. (Job Bank = 15,000 UAW goons paid $100k per year to do NOTHING)
No bail out money for you!
U.S. should not give one nickel to the Big 3. Let them go bankrupt, just like individuals have to.
If the feds want the loan repaid, unlike their gifts to the banks, or the Farmers, GM has to allocate resources for the best return. If GM can make a profit outside the reach of US government hurdles, it will allow for the retention of US manufacturing.
I understand that the GM plant in Brazil is super efficient, with the parts suppliers all located on the same campus. The sub assemblies, like dashboards, are made right there.
