Looks like GM is very healthy
and this turn around was done under government control.
So much for the myth that government cannot run busnesses as well as the private sector.

I'm sure this story will be featured front-and-center by Mr. Limbaugh.

If true, then why not have government take over business?

I mean, in fact, not just in shadow?

I'd like to see evidence of the Feds decisions creating wealth. Are they reversing the drastic cut in new UAW compensation?

I, personally, believe government and big businesses such as GM have been joined at the hip to some degree for a long time. Lobbyist influence and all of that.

At any rate, I'm glad to see GM back in the black. To me, it's a good sign.

Holy crap Blue - agreement! Cheers.

I drove through Youngstown yesterday, first time in a long time. It really does look bad.

It looks much better through your rear-view mirror though.

Youngstown is, however, a major exporter of football coaches.

Oh, those people LIVE for football, with baseball trailing a close second. It's the place to be on the rare occasion that the Browns make it to the Superbowl. Until they (inevitably) lose, anyhow.
