What is amazing is that so many posts seem to be happy, almost giddy, about any negative thing that they can say about the american auto industry. Why these toads would be happy to see the industry go out of business is easy to understand. But it strikes me as fully unamerican. Love to spend hundreds of billions on wars, but hate to save the largest us industry. SAD.
I still don't understand why it was our job to bail them out. It honestly makes no sense, so why can't everyone get a bail out, or can it only be companies that politicians like?
Give me a billion dollars and I can make some serious cash on that in a single year... But how is that fair to everyone else that would have to compete with me?
It also is quite amazing to watch people who demand the rich pay higher taxes and claim the Republicans love the rich support policy after policy that literally hands money to the rich.
Because it helped save American jobs.
The people of Michigan and Ohio get it.
The word American only has value to some of these people when they are wrapping themselves in the flag for personal political gain. They do not hold American jobs higher than jobs anywhere else in the world. In fact the only jobs they hold up are jobs that pay less for the same work. They are not believers in America. America to them is just another place to make money. The best country to them is where a corporation can make the most profit for the stockholders and the management. These people are not in that class of course. But they ALL believe that some day they will be. They are several universes past delusional.
I thought the unions were evil and greedy that cause businesses to shut down?
I am indeed old enough. And yes, during the 60's through the 80's, they did screw the pooch.What is amazing is that so many posts seem to be happy, almost giddy, about any negative thing that they can say about the american auto industry.

The American auto industry is in the shape it is in because of complacency, incompetence, over confidence and a general "don't give a flying f*ck about it's customers" attitude.
I don't know how old you are, but if you were around to see how incredibly cheap and shoddy American cars were built from the mid 70's - mid 80's - you would know exactly why the foreign makers were kicking ass and taking numbers.
Cars were literally rusting out before they were paid for. In the meantime the unions had created an over-compensated and spoiled employment force rife with habitual tardiness, high absenteeism and "wet lunches".
In other words - you treat your customers like sh*t, have a workforce whose compensation is well above what the market will bear...bankruptcy is in your future.
KissMy, and you other right wing clowns,GM is sucking hind tit in sales gains.
Toyota Motor reported a 60 percent sales gain over a year ago.
Chrysler Group did even better than its two Detroit-based rivals, with June sales up 20 percent over the same month a year ago.
General Motors, is only up 16 percent over a year ago.
It's just sad that GM still can't compete.

GM was number two in the world in sales in 2011, and closing on Toyota. In 2012, GM is number 1 in sales in the US in terms of units sold, well ahead of Toyota, and Ford is number two.
So, GM has gone from bankruptcy to the top one or two auto makers in the world. What is that you said about can't compete???? GM is BACK and you righties just can't stand it. It's a true US success story, and you are still hoping for failure of the US auto industry. In most peoples book, that is unamerican.
Obama saved GM.
Romney said, "Let Detroit go bankrupt."
Good bumper sticker statement, Skul. But, if you actually research the situation that GM got itself into, you would learn that there were no suitors for GM. No way that GM, or Chrysler, were going to get out of their financial mess as whole companys. What would have happened was, almost certainly, the end of the us auto industry. Even ford felt that they would not have survived.Obama saved GM.
Romney said, "Let Detroit go bankrupt."
Filing bankruptcy is not necessarily the death of a business.
Thousands of companies have filed for bankruptcy protection and are still operating today.
I suppose the fucking government should have bailed them out too

So, your statements about other bankruptcies are completely vacuous. Other companies were often not salvageable, often were able to find a buyer or major investor, and so on. And other companies did not provide the potential for economic disaster that GM going bankrupt did pose.
Research it a little. The facts are very clear, assuming that you actually want to know what went on.

Stock price has been steady since last september. Within 50 cents per share. So not sure where you get the idea that it is tanking.KissMy, and you other right wing clowns,GM is sucking hind tit in sales gains.

GM gas not paid taxes for 5 years & their stock price is tanking. The US government owns 500 million shares of GM stock. Even with all this government help Toyota just smoked their ass!!!

GM is recovering, not recovered. Profits are now a reality.
Toyota is a great company. Why you insist on comparing gm with toyota is beyond me. What is being said,k by me and most of the known world, is that the gm auto bailout is a success at this point, from a us standpoint. That tea party folks want gm to fail is a truth also. I prefer to have an auto industry. And, in my humble but correct opinion, that you do not want them to succeed is unamerican, and economically ignorant.
Cars.com announced today that the Toyota Camry once again took the top spot in the site's annual American Made Index. This is the third consecutive year the Camry has held this position, despite many newcomers to the list including the Ford Explorer, the Chevrolet Traverse and the GMC Acadia. The Camry, which is assembled in Georgetown, Ky. and Lafayette, Ind., is followed by the Honda Accord and the Chevy Malibu, which rank No. 2 and No. 3 respectively.
Cars.com's annual American-Made Index ranks the most-American vehicles based on percentage of their parts that are made domestically, where they are assembled and how many are sold to U.S. buyers.
Obama saved GM.
