GM didn't really repay its government loan -- though they're aggressively advertising that in a very misleading way. They took out another taxpayer loan to "pay" a loan. I guess we should expect government-like (Social Security "Trust Fund") accounting from Government Motors.

Long live Ford.

They used taxdollars to pay $6.7 billion so they will be elgible for a $10 billion government fund for “retooling” to meet new CAFE standards.

think about that.

I am 67 and every car I ever purchased new was GM except once. Last August we bought a Honda and love it. Will never have another GM product.

the federal government agreed to forgive some of GM’s debt during bankruptcy in exchange for stock in the company, the value of which is uncertain.

I take this to mean that the "uncertain" number is huge, but hey, it's only taxpayers money!

Nothing is too big, too good or too expensive when it's taxpayer money.

Please to not forget that Gm owes the UAW PENSION FUND $12 billion smackeroos. Guess where that money will come from... customers or taxpayers (or, possibly, Chinese suckers who continue to buy our worthless notes, heh, heh, heh...)
