Yeah its kind of scary.I did however just now as I write this see that the white house is going to help GM.I live in Anderson myself and dont know what Im gonna do if I lose my job as there isnt anything around here.I have a family at home and that is what scares me the most.I hear alot of people saying just let them go bankrupt and start all over.What those of you dont realize is if they file bankrupt they will go straight to liquidation.They will come to your town,take all new cars off the lots and it will be done for awhile and awhile meaning if they can get it back together.And as I said they are going to help but you guys are right this money isnt going to do it.Its just gonna prolong it.It makes no sense to have the same people try to fix it that screwed it up.I myself even though I work for them dont wont to be responsible for bailing them out as I drive a 94 blazer and cant afford any new or newer vehicle for that matter.Hell I have another micro in my garage right now that I have 2 motors and 85% of the parts for but cant afford to put it together.Getting rid of the union will be something interesting.I agree with what someone else said about the retiries eating up alot of money but they half to get wages and benifit packages down to compete.We let honda and toyota come over here to save them money on shipping cars over seas and they are doing it alot more affordable than they was before.We get oil from overseas.Maybe we should start by depending on ourselves and what we already have.People from other countries have always wanted to come here.They are here.Now we are a minority.Congratufreakinlations.:moon::angry-smiley-007:
