As for that survey that got 2 seconds of his time: Supposedly, there was a poll conducted recently, and it concluded that 80% of people wouldn't even consider buying a car from a bankrupt company....80 percent!! Imagine suddenly wiping out 80 percent of GM's sales overnight; even a young healthy company couldn't withstand that. Sure they could campaign and market themselves as a refreshed, healthy company...because...that works, right?
but the popular alternitive is putting money in the big 3 when people dont want to buy cars because the economy is down. THe better coarse of action is lowering CAFE projections and forcing lesser contract obligations on behalf of the UAW.
