Barack Obama economic plan casualty GM needs another bailout to survive. Should we let Obama throw away more good money after bad? Or is it time to let GM sink or swim on its own the best way it can?

If GM management hasn't learned yet how to stay competitive, it never will. They should just downsize keeping the Corvette Division, since it is profitable, and anything else that isn't dragging them under. The Chevy Volt is an albatross around GM's neck.

    Bankruptcy would not be death for GM.
    The first bailout should have never happened.
    Two wrongs won't make a right.

    Bankruptcy will not be death for California either.
    NEVER throw our federal dollars at states to keep them from going bankrupt.

    You mean giving a company a major cash injection to avoid bankruptcy while allowing it to follow the same business model that got it there in the first place hasn't worked? I'm shocked!
    They should have declared bankruptcy in the first place, it wouldn't have been the end of GM and job losses would have been minimal and temporary. The company would then renegotiate contracts, create a new board of directors, and come back leaner and better than before. Instead DC gave them gravy to get over corinary disease, it was foolish then and it's foolish now.

    They have moved most of their operations to China why not ask China for the bailout. Besides they're going to need plenty more bailouts no one in their right mind buys GM anymore they sell garbage

    See what happens when you put the loser union thugs in charge? I'm guessing they've already improved their lifestyle with our money. If Goverment Motors can't swim, then let 'em sink.

    The government should leave GM alone, the only exception being parts that build military vehicles which have real contracts. Those portions it should just make sure GM scabs won't be able to dismantle to save other parts that are dying.

    The real problem here is GM management. Forget government intervention: the byzantine management structure has to go but if the government just steps in and creates a new management that doesn't guarantee it'll be good or successful.

    My idea..

    Let OBAMA and the DemoRATS INVEST their personal fortunes to BANKROLL GM again. Include all those Republicans that voted for the bailout as well.

    Let them PUT THEIR MONEY where their mouth is!

    We should be demanding this of all MONIES SPENT.

    Mandate that they TREAT ALL SPENDING AS IF IT WAS THEIR MONEY.

    Not just rob the Taxpayer blind

    I dont think they are in as much trouble as the artical tries to put it but they do need some changes and if they dont make the changes they will be in trouble and should not get another bail out

    During the Great Depression, Ford Motors shut down, putting 34,000 people out of work.

    Yes? And? Do you drive a Ford? Last time I checked, they were kicking ass on top of not taking the tax payer's money for a bail out. What's your point?
  • Tim Upham Simmeri... 2012/08/18 02:26:54

    No I do not. But Ford Motors did not go out of business, after it shut down in 1929.

    You have trouble bailing out a Corp that employs thousands of tax payers, but $77,000 for a dancing horse is fine. Great.
