I don't think GM is going to go under, they'll eventually get bailed out but the Government will have their hands buried deep in their operations.

I think thats only 1 of many parts why they won't let it go down...

The financial fall out of all the loans, bank owed titles / loans it still has and the immediate effect it has on that paper.

You also have to consider most of the states that are largely union thus democratic voters won't be hung out to dry otherwise democrats will feel there supporter base shrink real fast.

Also you have consider that would push various areas of the united states almost into a depression in terms of unemployment.

Right now the democrats are just playing smoke and mirrors so It looks like they are against bailouts and etc but are all for them...

The biggest thing I think is a misconception is that its a bailout rather than call it what it is a loan. Chrysler got a billion dollar loan some years ago and it was repayed ahead of time with interest.

Chapter 11 bankruptcy doesn't automatically trigger the destruction of their production plants.

I could see the car companys going under some "restructuring" they need to get rid of the unions. If they went into paying people per hour...instead of this corporate welfare system. ...also make a better product

And the often over looked fact that someone would buy the companies and they would still be producing some sort of car/truck in the near future.

The 815 stores of Woolworths in the UK

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/7743906.stm

Talks are continuing between troubled retailer Woolworths and its two main banks in an attempt to establish if it is possible to save the iconic chain.

Woolworths has debts of £385m and it is at risk of going into administration.

The firm, which employs 30,000 people around the UK, has been suffering as a result of intense competition.

Earlier this week, it was reported restructuring specialists Hilco were set to pay a nominal £1 for Woolworth's loss-making retail business.

But the BBC's business correspondent Joe Lynam said the banks might prefer to recoup their money by calling in the administrators sooner rather than later.

He added that shares in the firm have tumbled by 92% over the past year - falling 32% on Friday alone - as confidence that the company could meet its day-to-day activities, as well as repay its existing loans, started to fade.

The general retailer has been struggling for some time as competition from more specialist outlets, large supermarkets and the internet has forced down sales.

It has suffered further as the economic slowdown has hit consumer spending.

The firm announced a record first-half pre-tax loss of £90.8 million in September and scrapped its dividend to shareholders.

In August, it rejected a takeover bid of £50m for its 815 stores from a group headed by the founder of the Iceland frozen food chain, Malcolm Walker.

Woolworths has been an icon of the British High Street for almost a century. It also has a distribution business and a DVD publishing business.

yeah I heard Google is running low on money and bandwidth.

The amount they paid, they'll never close the doors. Why they haven't added advertisements before or after the clips yet is a complete mystery to me.

NickB. · 11-25-2008, 07:36 AM

Im curious to see, hope not too many though

Well, probably charging you $0.50 for a click via adwords and paying only $0.04 for this click via adsense still makes google enough to neglegt monetizing youtube.
