#2 GM says no because the money went to the Union.

Of course the follow-up question should be "what has the CEO and Board of Diretors of GM done since 2009 to ensure taxpayers are not on the hook for future bail outs"?

#8 Got to give credit to Willie Sutton -- at least he didn't say he should not pay back the money he stole because he'd pay taxes and not collect govt benefits.

Different times I suppose.

#10 Maybe its bullsh!t like this that will cause my driveway to be barren of GM products for the rest of my life. (cannot speak for friends that support the General and continue to keep buying his crap, however)
