The Dems want to give 25 Billion to their friends at GM while GM
builds the worst sorta crap I have ever seen. Their unions and
management deserve to fail for giving us such garbage. They have
designed the worst sort of vehicles that nobody wants when gas prices
are high and their quality is still on the bottom. The unions priced
themselves out of work and the management allowed short term thinking
that produced the gas hogs they cannot give away. No bailouts for
Bull****.


Unions and labor costs are not the problem, and never have been. Non
union made toyotas and Hondas sell in greater numbers, despite being
considerable MORE expensive.


GM vehicles are crap. Honda's and Toyota's are good quality vehicles. GM
cannot put the effort, money, into quality due to the costs they have to
pay for union labor and union benefits.


Actually I blame both managemnt and the union.

Management was too stupid to let it happen.

Unuion, not my job to make this company sucessful.

Take your pick. 30+ years of customer and shareholder abuse should come to
an end. Someone will buy the plants and rehire real workers when the need
arrises.

What is the GM (Government Motors) going to do with all these cars no one
wants or can afford?

People do not have a problem paying a bit more for quality. My parents
bought GM vehicles. When I saw what piles of crap they were I decided to
never buy one. My dad did buy a Datsun 1200 Sedan back in '72, damn thing
ran for ever. Had to keep riveting the body back together but the
mechanicals of that car were great. It had more than 250,000 miles on it
when the guy finally towed it away, it was still running too.


I hear you on this. But found Ford to be better than GM or Chrysler.
