  • who would ever want to buy a Government motors car?

  • The way P.J. describes it, it sounds like a Bicycle!

    Very interesting, Subscribed and Fav'd!

  • Wow, PJ is coming across as a grumpy old man. "We cannot build a small car that is worth a darn." I can recall when Conservatives were optimists. Tough to listen to a guy I used to respect.

  • When i grow up I want to be like PJ

  • @Claronium780 No, They just made GM Gov Motors. They didn't pay it back they just forgave the debt for 60% of GM. You need to do some research and not just listen to leftest news.

  • Come see him on July 10th in Hillsborough at the CNHT picnic!

  • and now of course the car companies have started paying off their debt to the government with interest several years early - wrong again PJ ! : )

  • I would rather see 100 small companies competing for the privilege of selling me my next car than be saddled with 3 monolithic subsidized megacorps that are "too big to fail". Think of the amazing diversity and innovation we are missing out on because of the terrible policies of the past. I imagine if it had been a truly free market all along, we would all be driving incredible, beautiful, eco-friendly, super safe, high performance wonder machines by now. It's a shame.

  • Ford took a bailout in 2006. Something like 20 billion.

  • great man
