Talk about spin. I love how corporate/capitalist sympathizers point to the labor costs as a "major" reason for GM and Chrysler going under when in reality, the reason they were going under is because they had a inferior product. This falls in the range of design, quality, and marketing. The only thing the American car companies compete in are the trucks. That's about it.

Nooooo...it was those big bad mean unions that forced GM to roll out those fuel inefficient gas guzzling automobiles.

So your saying they turn all that around in a year? Tell me what new cars they came out with after the bail out?
