How it is not competitive with the Japanese manufactures and the discrepancy needs to be addressed. How about an across the board percentage cut at GM. Everyone from the line worker, up through the entire management structure. I'm not talking down sizing etc. I am talking a compensation package cut.

My heart says lend the money with accountability built in - my head says - NO - don't spend another dime on bail-outs - let the people who caused this mess suffer for their actions or in-actions. We must stop this slide towards socialism NOW! We do not need to expand the powers of the government - we need to put them in their place - and remind these congressmen and women - they work for the citizens of this country - not select groups and guidelines such as UAW; NAFTA; EPA; IMF; WALL STREET & LARGE CORPORATIONS. Does the thought of "term limits" ever cross your mind - these days???
