All these bailouts are getting really funny.

Anyone here currently working for GM, or on a GM pension? Have any comments?

 

[hotwheels]

it's beyond funny.

Don't be silly Jens. The union thugs would be knocking at their door in no time!

Gov't now owns 72 % of GM. Gov't Motors ? Remember that a camel is a horse designed by a committee !! They should harvest all the hot air in DC and use it to run cars.

 

[hotwheels]

and they're gonna file bankruptcy anyway. lovely. vote for change. ha.

It's worse than I thought now Gov't Motors is to be restructured by a 'child' ! Did Obama run out of tax cheats ? Now [our company] run by a kid will be in even worse shape.

 

[hotwheels]

the shameful part about all this is how it was sold to the US public 7 mos ago. anyone with a lick of common sense could see where it was heading. what was the point of attempting to bail them out?

Oh my God!

Here's a good piece: "...not-quite graduate of Yale Law School.."
So he is an almost ambulance chaser. Okay... reading on....

His mommy and daddy are mentioned for some reason:
"...is the son of a political science professor at Boston College (his father) and an engineer who works in renewable energy (his mother). He grew up in the Boston suburb of Belmont and attended Middlebury College in Vermont."

"Boston", "Vermont", "Yale", etc.....

Oh Jesus F'ing Christ. We are so screwed!

 

[hotwheels]

I think they mention his parents because they are part of his qualifications. don't need to read between the lines to see how this boy got his job.

 

[psoper]

I think the GM would have a better chance if they put me in charge of it, seriously...

and that isn't saying much- whoever thought this one us must be in a position to profit big time from the whole thing in the crapper

 

[Jens]

Like I said in my thread starting post.... It's funny.

It ain't funny for all the people who have lost their jobs, etc., but the stupidity of all these bailouts and government buy-outs is seriously funny.

 

[rightseat]

read someplace recently that the current bailout $$$ for GM amounts to approx $6000 per car the company will build this year.

Jens, in case you hadn't noticed, this country has been screwed daily since Jan 2009 and the real crap hasn't even started yet!

Pete,
Try to keep your self-rightous bull sh#t in the cesspool where it belongs.

You just can't stand the truth, can you?

The cesspool is currently in DC where the DimmocRATS hang out!

I'll admit I'm not following any of these bailouts and other stuff closely.

Apparently there is now some 3 or 4 thousand dollar tax payer bailout/credit/bullshit to car buyers who trade-in their older low gas mileage cars if the old cars are CRUSHED.

There are seriously poor people that can't even think about buying a new car that might need an inexpensive, old, used car that will get them around for a while.

All this shit is crazy!

The new Gov't Motors CEO said " I don't know anything about cars " !! That's OK as the rest of the Gov't doesn't either .
