So, being anal, here is what is going to pi55 me off.

We have to date pumped 20 Billion into GM.

Through this restructuring, we are committed to maybe as much as another 40-60 Billion dollars.

Now keeping in mind paragraph 2 above, if GM emerges from bankruptcy, closing U.S. plants in favor of Mexico, Canada and China, after taking all those U.S. Greenbacks……..then I'm done.

No Camaro.

No GM ever allowed in my garage again.

Ya vote with your dollar, and if the above happens, I'll be voting no.

I agree with what you've written. It troubles me to no end that GM as an international company has been outsourcing American jobs for decades. Now as taxpayers we are forced to bail this corporation out and our money might very well increase the number of jobs sent to other countries? Its insane. I can't wrap my mind around this mess, is this just greed gone wild or an intentional effort to bankrupt our Country?
