they don’t pay taxes, borrow huge amount of money for zero interests, huge subsides from government and government buying GM cars as well.

As a low wage earning taxpayer, I don’t like being forced to support unionized companies in the north east that can’t survive due to their corruption and bad decisions. I will never buy any GM products ever, and will actively encourage everyone to do the same.

General Motors (GM) has once again become the world's biggest vehicle maker, which marks dramatic turnaround for a firm that was facing bankruptcy two years ago.

And it only took the worst earthquake in a century to make it happen.

The Dems will no doubt propose a car profit commission, where the windfall profit on cars is not excessive. That tax should be up to 100% after they have made enough money.

Dems are getting ready to propose that right now ...

Sounds like bonus time for the brilliant managers that made it all happen.

How Ironic. Hitler’s “Peoples Car” vs. Obama’s “Peoples Car.”

Isn't it amazing that GM bubbles to the "top" right here in an election year?

IF their figures are true and not propped up by stimulus money and fleet (Volt) sales to the government, then I would suspect that their trucks are the bulk of the sales.

I have vowed - due directly to obama and his cronyism with unions - that I will never purchase another vehicle made by a unionized company...especially GM.

Obama and unions are the bane of America's problems.

General Motors re-emerges as world's top vehicle-maker two years after near bankruptcy

GM did go bankrupt and no longer exists. It did not re-emerge. A new company was capitalized by the government to buy votes and is using the GM name. Barky's administration has carefully studied the mistakes of the Japanese and has set out to make every one of them.

The single best reason NOT to buy a Government Motors Car:

Every GM car sold enrichens the UAW labor union.

Obama has turned GM into a multi-billion dollar pipeline to funnel taxpayer money to the UAW.

Exactly how much taxpayer money per car is Obama giving GM as a subsidy?

How many GM cars are being forced on government agencies by the Obama administration to pump up sales?
