GM ?? you mean Government Motors or The new Amtrac , This was a well-engineered ( illegal) transfer of wealth from bond holders to the Unions. It was also a way to put many family-owned dealerships out of business and set up White Crib cronies with dealerships. GM is a shadow of its former self, and would have been better off going through traditional (and legal) bankruptcy. It would have recovered faster, been more streamlined, and more profitable.Originally Posted by soldier4402
We can argue the reasons all you want, and every president has these off the wall reasons for doing things. Just like FDR let the Japs bomb PH, Kennedy faked the moon walk, and bush had a re-painted C-17 crash into the twin towers. Sometimes things have to be taken for face value. Either way letting an organization like GM crash would not have been for the economy. Now the how we did could be up for debate.
The rest of your post is Insanity !

As for the dealers Gm cut the ones that didnt perform, family or not if you didnt sell cars I dont see the need for your existence. To be honest with you I dont feel bad for any car dealer, as most even the smallest ones have at least a somewhat better lifestyle then the most in their community.( i Mean name brand new car dealer)

Wrong !! Let the Market Decide Dealership Closures not politics !! DC Racketeering's finest hour .
Just saw this thead, bought a new leftover 09 Malibu Bu LTz when the 10's were out w/ the v6, OMG, 50K miles later I luv this car, hauls azz, rides good, decent stereo!! I'd get another in a second!!
Im pretty sure market did decide dealer fate. The least performing dealers were cut. Either way having a dealer is like a franchise, the mother company can really cut you at anytime.
But thats what you get when you file bankruptcy the government has its say in what you do and dont do.

Car Dealers: BACK In 2009, everyone knew that the real problems dooming Both Chrysler and General Motors were their enormous property and property tax obligations caused by the too big, too old, factories, and their utterly unsupportable labor and pension costs, Barack Obama ordered the closure of over 3000 auto dealerships. Now, maybe many of those dealers were because they were good Republicans, but what of their mechanics, their salesmen, their janitors, their accountants and finance experts? These were probably a normal cross-section of the country – equal parts Republican, Democrat, and independent. And they all know that they were fired by Barack Obama....
Still can't understand how cutting dealers helped GM. As the dealers were independant businesses, how is having a low performing dealer worse for GM than no dealer? The dealers had to pay for their costs just as any business does. Keep in mind, the dealers are actually GM's customers, not the end buyer.
