I'm no economist, but I certainly don't see a need to whore out our marketplace to the world when most others keep a protective eye on domestic product.
:( You should be ashamed for misleading yourself....
Their name is not "Government Motors", because calling them that seriously requires you to ignore a lot of facts...
And the only thing in that ad was an announcement that they repaid the loans, and are better for receiving them. They did not tell the 'whole story', arguably because it would take a half-hour to deliver a simple summary of events...and TV commercials are expensive.....
But they didn't lie or mislead anyone on a single point.

General Motors has borrowed money from itself to pay itself. The Government can do things like that and spin the news as positive and convince countless people they have re-paid the loan.
With business practice like this, we should be proud to call GM Government Motors. So not telling the whole story is saving us taxpayers money and is a good thing as well. I see how this works. Not having transparency in Government as promised in the campaign has now turned into saving taxpayer dollars by not explaining everything fully. I see how this works now.
General Motors..Government Motors.. to me it is the same thing at this point and why you feel anyone should be ashamed to call GM that is beyond me. Especially if you support what the Government is doing, the name Government shouldn't be viewed as a negative in your eyes.
