GM Govt. Bailout?

[TLyttle]

What's with the Canada/Mexico thing? Canada runs the most efficient plants in the system, are we going to be blamed for the crap that the Big Three designed? Geez, we're sorry.......

Having owned a number of US-built cars and trucks: crude on crude, always to big, always too fuel INefficient, always ready to fall apart at the slightest provocation. I have also owned Volvos and Toyotas: won't light the tires, but reliable to a fault. There is not ANY US-built vehicle that I would trade for my old 245 Volvo.

Let 'em sink.

My main point was why are/should the U.S. tax payers put up our money to save Canadian and Mexican jobs? GM wants it both ways. They want to be global and cash in on cheaper taxes and labor in other countries but when the shit hits the fan they come running back to our government with their hands out.
