Replying to: nvbanker (Nov 17, 2008 11:07 am) Well I think some of our politicians owe the unions and other corporate lobbyists and donators some favors. And the propagandists of the unions and Big3 are inundating the media with these phoney Armageddon stories for the economy if one of them fails (1st being GM). (Unfortunately there are a lot of suckers out here who believe this!) This is all in preparation for giving Pelosi and Congress a reason to throw the doors of the Treasury open to them. So I'm not quite there in creating the new forum. I'm still afraid we're all just going to continue to bailout the rich and powerful groups in this country, draining any Social Security funds we may have, and bankrupt the country eventually (or have a 50% tax rate). Our national debt is over $10 trillion now, and that's growing faster and faster with each give-away, each year! Why don't we just get it over with and go back to a feudal serf system! giving it all to our Lords!

Replying to: kernick (Nov 17, 2008 2:06 pm) That's exactly the strategy. Globalization and endless reverse socialism to help the elite will produce that exact ideal.

From another thread. GM directors' options include bankruptcy filing AUTOMOTIVE NEWS 12:23 am U.S. ET | Nov. 22 General Motors directors are considering a Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing, the Wall Street Journal and Detroit television stations reported. According to local TV reports, GM's board was meeting late Friday night in the company's downtown Detroit headquarters and had added court protection to the list of actions that may be taken as the company's cash supplies dwindle and the prospects for immediate federal aid dim. from autonews.com Wow???

Plus, I really do think that most Americans really do feel that they shouldn't whine like little puppies who got their butts kicked by the bigger dog down the street. They need to grow some teeth and fight back. Plus, as has been mentioned a zillion times by now, the workers in the UAW saw this day coming a decade ago.

Replying to: rayainsw (Dec 03, 2008 5:32 pm)  The CTS-V is basically occupying the same spot the GNX did 20 years ago. I wish GM hadn't taken 20 years to repeat the same philosophy and success, but it can be done if they try. It's a very nice car. Really. Whomps on a 5 series in price and performance.
