GM Slashes Benefits: One Bad Decision After Another

Let me start by saying my dad is an over 65 GM Salary retiree who lost his benefits to be replaced by an additional $300 per month PRE TAX benefit. Thanks- for nothing.

Careful what you ask for America. If any of the big three go under a lot of people would cheer a loud "Ha- I told you so-they deserved it!"
If GM especially goes under it will be a huge disaster for this country. They employ directly and indirectly hundreds of thousands of people in this country alone.

The last figure I saw was one in 15 people are directly or indirectly employed by the auto industry in this country.

Look what happend to Flint Michigan when ONE pland was closed. The entire city is a ghetto now. Take that one step forward if all or most GM plants closed this country would literally fall apart.

One local GM dealer went out of business. Forgetting the owner they employed 128 people many of whom have lost homes and vehicles to reposession and bankruptcy because they could not find new jobs in time.

Like them or hate them we need the big three now more than ever. Stop saying they build cars people don't want.

Everyone likes to fly the Prius flag and talk about what a green company Toyota is. Ever see their SUV and Pick up lineup? They are gas guzzling pigs that ave 15mpg highway.

Wake Up! GM has over 24 vehicles that get 30 MPG or better and not all of them are compacts.
