ANYONE who has been with GM for a long time should be on the unemployment line.
I really felt at that time that Congress and President Bush should have given GM the big middle finger. They made their bed, they can sleep in it. You want to be bailed out? Everyone working there right now is gone. Fired. No severance, no golden parachutes, not even a coffee cup. You're all fired and we will rebuild the company from the ground up with new, fresh minds and ideas that don't have the stench of 40 years of complete failure.

The government at that time was trying to save us from another Great Depression. So, IDK, I think it was the right thing to do at that time.
