Where the gov't changed the bankruptcy rules so that the unions became co-owners of these new car companies, and not the bondholders who had invested their personal funds into keeping these two giants a float. Nor the fact that in order for the US gov't to sell their shares of stock, the price needs to rise quite higher in order for a profit to be made. But who would buy these shares if the US gov't can always change the bankruptcy laws again ?Also Ford started to decrease the number of dealerships years before the other two .I recall the fight Chrysler had 20yrs ago to get a gov't loan. It went on for weeks and weeks, but under mr. hope & change it only took days.</blockquote>
