Personally I don't think GM should have had to pay back one red cent...
Eff it...
During the last 100 Years GM has employed almost as many people as the Federal Gov't... on many occasions kept this country from being in several DEPRESSIONS... instead of Recessions.
Bottom line is that the only thing to argue here is about PUBLIC RELATIONS... They should have said:
"
WE GAVE BACK $6.7 Billion because quite frankly... we don't need it anymore..."
Of course that then would have then opened a whole new bunch of questions pertaining to the lying about needing it in the first place.
Hell... GM U should have just went Chapt &.. and thrown this sorry ungrateful "Continent" in a Depression like they have never seen.
