They both make absolutely horrid vehicles that look and feel super cheap and run like **** and fall apart... I hope they close shop, it is survival of the fitest.
Maybe they should actually live in reality, scale back there damn suv and truck production because almost no one is buying, and give some cars that are innovative, say ones that actually meet higher gas mileage goals? (40 mpg).
Sounds like some people haven't stopped near a GM dealer in the last 20 years. Now, slowly open your eyes, be careful now, we don't want you getting blinded by the sunlight, but look and see over there, not too far away, it is reality, where GM provides some of the most fuel efficent vehicles available, they may not sell the MOST fuel efficent vehicle available in the US market (Prius?) but overall they do a lot more than most. Also keep in mind GM is represented by many brands not 2 or 3.
If GM stopped selling those SUVs & Trucks the people who do actually need those vehicles would just trot along to the next guy who does, strangely enough a Prius does not make a good work vehicle for a construction company. I know, it maybe a shock to some of you but the world doesn't work on small cars alone.
The American government should not intervene with any of this. Let the market ride itself, the so called free market should be run like everyday life: the strong and smart outlast the dumb and weak. Make companies more competitive by not intervening so big companies aren't so concerned about ignoring people's needs by making stupid business decisions because the government will just bail them out. Do this, and prices will go down from the competitiveness, people buy more due to cheaper prices, and the economy is much stronger.
Ahh yes, we must not help any company in need, there is no purpose in helping GM, Ford & Chrysler, they are weak companies, they got themselves into this position, they must die becauses of errors made in the past.
Knock knock, its reality speaking, remove all 3 US automakers and the potential job losses will amount to around 3 million, as the job losses will quickly spread to most other parts of the economy as you would suddenly have hundreds of thousands of people out of work and little to no money to spend.
Oooo should we mention that there is billions of income taxes and corporate taxes that would not exist either, which may just happen to knock about government spending in many areas as suddenly the money isn't there.
Now, the Federal Government could offer loans, no not Bail Outs like they give their buddies on Wall St, a loan that must be repaid, which will allow these three large employers to reorganize and continue to improve.... or you could just tell them to get lost, see them all fail and then a few months later we will wait for people like you to be complaining endlessly how things suck because the governments do not have enough money to spend on required services.
