I am all for the survival of GM and someone really needs to explain to me how closing dealerships will solve this problem. I heard on the news this morning that in the '50's and 60's there were close to 50,000 car dealerships in the U.S. Today there are 19,000. That seems to be quite a reduction to me. Our government puts in billions to save 38,000 jobs and at the same time cuts what I believe I heard to be 200,000 jobs at the dealerships.(May include Chrysler).
