um so….is anyone doing a cost comparison analysis on whether it is cheaper for the government to provide universal health care or to have every manufacturing job sent overseas?
Yeah, “$51 billion in future healthcare costs for retirees and their family members” is daunting to a company that regularly posts billions in LOSSES, people. The fact that GM is still up and running at all is a miracle, asking them for guarantees isn’t worth the paper its printed on.
No lie, I got a solicitation from the local Chevy dealership yesterday telling me that the trade in on my 2004 Trailblazer may be up to $5,500.00 more than I thought.
That’s great but I’m trading it in for a Honda Pilot.

Noelle says
September 25, 2007 at 11:57 amI think there’s a joke by putting the words Saturn/Hummer/Saab together, but I’m going to leave it in more capable hands.

September 25, 2007 at 12:40 pmI was gonna say “That’s why I bought a Toyota” but I think someone may have already said that…
Lauren says
September 25, 2007 at 12:45 pmNow those are some well-groomed feet. Wonder what the trade-in value on mine is?

September 25, 2007 at 2:33 pmI’m not sure which side to back. The unions do want to help their workers, but GM is not doing very well. Sad days for all.
Lisa says
September 25, 2007 at 2:37 pmI’m off to walk to pick up the kid from school. I will, however, be wearing flip flops. Don’t want to muss up the pedicure.
