[QUOTE="bacha29, post: 3841480, member: 58386"] Just 10 years ago the federal government who at the time was reeling under the weight of the worst recession in 80 years had to hoark up a 51 billion dollar hair ball just to bail out GM. If it were not for the passage of the bailout plan by just a 2 vote Senate majority that's right just 2 votes General Motors wouldn't even be around today . A lot of people who were holding GMAC bonds came away with nothing. What happened back then? Ugly, obsolete vehicles that used a lot of gas and they are to some extent in the same position again. Compare the vehicles GM is discontinuing to Ford's lineup of small SUV's. Yesterday's announcement alone was bad enough but when you combine it with the empty promises offered up by Donald Trump the Babe Ruth of BS it only serves to further elevate the level of public cynicism .
