The unfortunate part is that instead of helping GM get success, the *FEDERAL LOAN* to GM has polarized so many people into thinking they shouldn't support the company anymore. The "cost" to American Taxpayers is only exacerbated by the negativity in the media towards GM which in turn hurts GM's stock price. What we all should be doing is investing in GM any way we can - buying their cars, buying stock, etc - so that GM does excellent and their stock price goes up. The higher the stock price, the less of a "cost" to the tax payers and the sooner the government cashes in on the stocks they own in GM.

Sadly, until that day comes, all the negativity in the news directed at GM does nothing but cost Americans more...
