I heard a GM commercial the other night and had to laugh. the narrator of the commercial was saying that GM was correcting it's issues and would be the type of company that Americans could trust. so, after untold billions of bailout money, all they can offer is a puff of hot air. Those empty words reminded me of when I was with a company that was owned by IBM and was sold 5 times in 5 years. The last sale was from McGraw Hill to a private owner, and the McGraw Hill HR people came and told us how great our future was, and how they were jealous that we were landing in such a good situation. I can't begin to estimate how much this wonderful situation personally cost me in lost benefits, defaulted bonus agreements, etc. so when you hear these great things that are right on the horizon, just know that they are all lies. just like the GM commercial. We just gave Chrysler how many billions, and they still declared bankruptcy, closed thousands of dealerships, cut hundreds of thousands of jobs and sold their assets to a foreign company. Gee - just imagine how bad it would be if the govt didn't step in (I say that facetiously).
anyway, from where I sit,I see little if anything to feel positive about. this is a mess.

Yes, the situation with GM and Chrysler leaves a bad taste in my mouth. I am so angered that all those jobs are lost. The president, while on the campaign trail insisted over and over that he would help the auto industry. Silly me thought he meant saving jobs, not a watered down version of what GM used to be with thousand of workers in the unemployment line from one company alone. I will never buy a Government Motors (GM) vehicle again
