GM is running a commercial regarding their financial collapse, the government bailout and their recent success.

That is why the collapse of one or both of our domestic competitors would also threaten Ford."
GM was just about the only bailout recipient to spend the money in the way it was supposed to AND pay it back...and I guess the fact that they employ the working class on top of all that is enough to bundle some republicans undies!
ReplyDeleteThe right invested a great deal of time and energy convincing the flock that government intervention in the marketplace was akin to heresy. GM's success is viewed a lousy return on investment.
