    GM looks to be headed to bankruptcy again. Well, if the government leaves them alone they might actually be able to accomplish what they tried the first time and lean down this company to move forward rather than indebt it further and move the last remnants offshore.

    Wow, sure hope the government didn't use my SS investment to buy that stock. It could put my SS retirement portfolio in critical condition.

    Hopefully when they do fail (and they should have from the beginning, too big to fail my eye!) I hope they take the UAW with them!!!

    It'll be just like the last time. Obama will take care of the union with our tax dollar, screw the investor (you know, you and me) and then let them go into bankruptcy again like they should have in the beginning.
    Every cent that was given to help GM in the first place went straight to support the UAW. They screwed everyone else that was not tied to the union.

    Baja, although I 100% agree with EVERYTHING you said, I do have to say that SOME unions, like the UAW, and the teachers union, and 99.99999% of the public works/civil service unions are money grubbing self center bastards, there are MANY consturction unions and non PUBLIC unions that have taken some pretty deep cuts in hourly and benefit pay.

    The UAW willl either get the message, or fail. Same with the public sector/civil service AND GOVERNMENT ELECTED OFFICALS local, state and federal. They will either get their "fee for service" costs under control, or face the effects of their decisions

    As long as the Kenyan is at the helm of this Titanic, there will be NO BANKRUPTCY!!! That could mean shedding lots of pension weight, labor costs, union contracts and compensations and he simply won't have that for his voters.

    If you voted for Obama to prove you were not racist, then you better find someone else to vote for to prove your not stupid.
