“In addition, the government would extend a credit line to the new company and forgive the bulk of the $15.4 billion in emergency loans that the U.S. has already provided to GM, the source said.”

What a freaking deal, like it was set up like this all long.

Please tell me who paid $15.4 billion for this bullshit, and is now forced to take it up the ass?

My father was a union roofer, so I was raised in a pro-union home. I really feel bad for all of the autoworkers who probably won’t be able to find a comparable paying job, if they’re let go. That being said, I feel that this is the fault of the UAW, the politicians, and the environmentalists.
How much better off would these auto companies be if the unions weren’t giving so much in campaign contributions? Politicians suck. And the chicken little environmentalists are pressuring the politicians to force these companies to come up with cars that are ridiculous. If I am wrong, someone set me straight, please.
Michael Savage came up with a good point. If our auto plants are shut down, what are we gonna do if WW3 breaks out and we don’t have companies that can mass produce machines?

The people in control of the money are the ones to go after. Those pulling the puppit strings just continue the slowly take over of the strenght and the backbone of the world. Have you noticed they continue on as if we don;t know or see. While we try to expose all thats happening. We are left with few options. The people ourselves are to blame. There are more willing to let the government do what it wants than those willing to do what ever needs to be done to reverse this process.

All this happened because people were to busy with their own lives to keep informed and give the responsibily of our children over to others. This has allowed them to grow-up selfish, uneducated, taking drugs, creating crime, willing to let someone take responsibily of them. We had it so good for years we wanted stuff, more than we needed. We were used by our greed, power, we didn’t pay attention and we just wokeup one day and we saw what was going on. It is much bigger issue than our politions. There many trying to reverse the damage. We must decide soon what we are willing to do at all cost. We must do this because I for one am not willing to live in the world planned for us that leaves us with few options. We are going to sacrafice our lives so their is a future for our younger generations. :gun: :gun: :gun:

Actually Chevrolet was the one who gave into union demands. They didnt have to, no one forced them to.
Unions are like anyone else, they will ask for the world, but will settle for less. But if you give it to them, they will take it.
I know some unions that really suck.
The government should have never ever been involved in this. This was politics through and through.
After all is said and done, Chevrolet is worse of now, than if the government had not gotten involved.
Just try to remember what life was like before unions were formed. A lot of the worker rights you have now, were because of unions. Before unions, you had none, zero, zip, rights or benefits and lousy wages.
If life was so good before unions, why did unions form?
My dad was a before and after union guy at the same factory. He said before unions, it was 10 cents an hour and no benefits. After unions you got 25 cents an hour and holidays, vacations and health benefits and OSHA.
The reason companies offer good benefits now, is so you wont vote to bring in a union.

Pisses me off that I own a fairly new GM product. I don’t even want to drive the damned thing now.

Here is why the Government is taking GM and not Chrysler;

GM has Hybrid technology on the road
Flex Fuel
Development of battery technology and battery powered cars.

CHrysler does not have anything on the planned let alone on the road.

It supports Obama’s agenda of 35mpg cars by 2016. So goodbye Corvette, you were fun while you lasted. See ya later Mustang, never a big fun but, occasionally one of oyu will give me a run for my money.

Hello Volt the $40,000 econobox that nobody will buy, unless gas prices go through the roof, which is next on the agenda by our little Bolsheviks in Washington.

As a matter of fact, I find it funny that so many people are against Nuclear power yet, are willing to drive a car with a giant battery that will need to be replaced every 5-10 years creating tons of toxic waste. But hey it sure does sound great and nowadays that is all that matters
