Michael Moore on GM Bankruptcy: "We Own a Car Company"

"We need to protect our industrial infrastructure, as I've said many times before, so that we are using these factories to built the things that we need -- bullet trains, light rail, alternative energy, cleaner buses -- things that society needs in the 21st century. ... We have to kill GM in order to save it. ... They've planned their own obsolescence by helping to destroy the middle class ..." -- Michael Moore on Countdown with Keith Olbermann, Monday, June 1st, 2009

@kartman13 And what does me being a fan of Micheal Moore have to do with anything? Because I care about the problems in this country that makes me a dishonest person? That makes absolutely no sense at all.

If america is all about the "free market" "sink or swim" approach, we should have let GM fail, Asian car companies ran themselves such a way that they succeeded. They built good car and market them well.

a temporary loan does not make you an owner.

@390merc65 "just more proof anything can have trouble"

Duh, my issue is with the problems that GM and Chrysler have relative to other companies.

On the head gasket issue: I've seen a Civic with a blown head gasket, the thing was 20 years old, had well over 200,000 miles on it, the owner admitted to rarely changing the oil and it had been run out of coolant. Takes a lot of abuse to make that happen as far as I can tell.

@idontcare80 toyota is just a better bullshitter then GM..toyota will hide defects at any cost...a car company can go anywere and work well..thats not the point..the point is alot of ppl love to put down the big 3 and kiss the ground toyota drives on ,and they are not immune to troubles..and honda is no exception either.one day i just put in [blown headgasket's] on utube..and i was shocked to see most of the vids were hondas with blown head gaskets..just more proof anything can have trouble
