So you are suggesting that the government does not give GM any money and GM goes under.

or

The government gives GM the money, without any oversight, and we take the risk that they had fix all their problems and they wont blow this money also.

Which one?

This is WAY MORE than just GM..... all the suppliers of parts etc etc... I don't really think anyone wants to see the "what if" GM fails.

I'd pass that link along, except that it comes from GM and the people who need to read it the most are the ones who will write it off as propaganda. The ones who would read it already know the impact that domestic automakers have.

The government should announce a $5000 Tax Credit to anyone who buys an American car. Give people a good incentive to purchase. JMHO

Just did it. Got an email from GM. My grandma worked for GM and got the same email last week... must have sent them out early to (former)employees.
