Government Motors. That's fine with me. I'll not purchase any GM or Chrysler cars. There are plenty of others to choose from.

Wow... GWS posts a lot of replies! My comment is only, how now does Ford compete? They're trying to hang on and now their two big domestic competitors are being run by the government and the UAW.
How does Ford negotiate with the UAW in house? Would not the UAW have every incentive now to drive Ford into the same situation as GM and Chrysler?
In what form will the government and the democrats via the UAW start engineering mandated cars on the public with special deals and financing or tax deals , that the other manufacturers can't match?
This smells, and I haven't even mentioned how the bond holders have been shafted. Why, from now on, would anyone buy corporate bonds?

I won't buy anything from Government Motors or Chrysler either. Does anyone think that their quality will improve? Does anyone think that the next taxpayer loan will be the last?
This is just a boondoggle designed to protect and defend the UAW.

U.S. automakers should have pulled up stakes from their union thug-controlled locations and relocated to right-to-work states years ago. The only poetic justice in all of this is that the UAW will bring about the demise of its own industry in the U.S..

I have a Dodge Magnum. It's an awesome car. Yes, it's part German built. (well, for that matter aren't they all Korean??).
No Honda (et al) will ever do what a Hemi can.
It's my 'Red Barchetta', if you will.
Swan song for our industry.

Why did Obama give $8 billion more as Chrysler headed into bankruptcy? You and I just paid off the UAW.
GM - bottomless pit because everything the gov does is. Chrysler - bottomless pit because Obama can - and will continue to bribe/pay off the unions.
