Why do you say GM is going bankrupt? The article doesn't support that statement.
From the excerpt:
General Motors is going bankrupt for the same reason Social Security is going under: unfunded liabilities in the form of promised benefits to retirees
I agree that GM is unlikely to go bankrupt. I think they have some $30e9 in cash on hand.
From the second paragraph:
General Motors is going bankrupt for the same reason Social Security is going under: unfunded liabilities in the form of promised benefits to retirees.
Here : "General Motors is going bankrupt for the same reason Social Security is going under: unfunded liabilities in the form of promised benefits to retirees"
