If GM goes down, someone else will buy them, its not like all those jobs will disappear. All those resources will be too big a bargain for a foreign automaker to avoid buying up. Survival of the fittest. Camaro could live on under another flag. What I DON'T want is the govt owning a piece of GM and telling them what to build, having an up/down say on new models, etc., sitting on all their board mtgs. Sounds like Russia--"Excellent presentation on the new 6th gen Camaro, Bob, now we just need to beg for the approval of the Government Automotive Minister...." Do you think Nancy Pelosi wants you driving a V8? These are the people who brought you CAFE. They would LOVE to get their dirty hands deeper into the auto industry to make it what THEY want. Consider the consequences of this either way.
