Its unfortunate that those who had no blame in running the company into the ground will eventually be affected - but I'd sooner see GM go under than continually watch the tax dollars fund endless bailouts.
Michigan already has the highest unemployment numbers outside of the third world and they're about to get a lot worse.

As for saving tax dollars

I know a guy from up there who's been collecting unemployment since last July and he just got another 12 week extension.

Here's a free clue. Everytime someone loses a real job, not a burger flipping job but a real job, this country loses another taxpayer and goes that much deeper into the toilet
