Yeah, labeling sucks. Like the Bush tax cuts, right?

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 10, 2010 -> 08:31 AM) Oh come on man, this is absolutely ridiculous. You do realize that the only reason why bankruptcy was even a plausible option was that the government stepped in? This isn't even up for debate. The leadership/CEO's of companies that weren't bailed out like Ford even admit this. 10 million people didn't lose their jobs BECAUSE the government stepped in. Bankruptcy other than Chapter 7 was possible only because the government stepped in. There was absolutely no private financing in December-March 2009 to shepherd 2 large, unprofitable, politically connected auto manufacturers through bankruptcy. "10 million people didn't lose their jobs and bankruptcy happened! See!" ignores literally every fact out there. I'm almost astonished that I have to write this reply. The point is as ridiculous as the statements were before the wasted bailout. The car companies would have been fine, they would have been reorganized and financed, just like they were. Instead of the government owning them, it would have been the people they owed money. The only thing you are ignoring is that the alarmist left-wing was dead wrong here.

I have a mess of kids spoons!

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Nov 10, 2010 -> 07:37 AM) It sure sounds to me like that is a question that would only be asked for political reasons, not a question that would be asked by an actual legitimate investor. Basically, GM right now is an actual profitable company with a large amount of hardware. Furthermore, they're actually profitable while we're still very close to the bottom of the consumer market. If the consumer market ever recovers, they become a better investment. They also happen to have a "to big to fail" style explicit government guarantee. Oh yeah, there's lots of risks, but there's lots of risks with any company you invest in. You might not have confidence in their management, you might think we're in for another gas price spike in the near future, you might think that the key vehicle of the future for them (The Volt) is going to be a boondoggle, etc. But all of those are legitimate investment issues. The one you cite only makes sense if you're obsessed with bashing the government for the bailout. I think the funny part is that even after saying that bankruptcy would be this huge disaster for the car companies, the left is now taking credit for putting GM through bankruptcy. I guess that means 10 million people or whatever didn't lose their jobs, huh?
