Lets leave the guy who lost GM millions during his tenure. Replacing Rick Wagoner would show the public at large that GM is serious about evolving. Otherwise, it's the same old clown show! Yep!

Production capacity should be cut but not all the way down to 9M SAAR. That is an unsustainably low number and when it rebounds we would be caught short in production capacity, putting significant pressure on pricing. This is something we have to be very concerned about in this downturn, and not only with regards to automobile manufacturering. With all of the liquidity being pumped into the markets, I am very concerned about stagflation like the 1970's and early 80's. Commodity production is contracting at an alarming pace and we are ripening the markets for skyrocketing inflation when the economy starts to turn. Me #95

The goverrnment runs a very efficient public health system in Australia. Its not perfect but no one gets turfed out for being poor. It runs on about half of the GDP than your country too! I beleive Cuba is also very good considering they HAVE NO MONEY! Stop being so narrow minded and have a look around the world and you will find it can be done, doh. #19 Bigcitycat, what planet are you from again?

Yea, this always gets me to, and something all the networks (cable included) seem to ignore. A managed/structured bankruptcy and those employment contracts are out the door (including Rick himself), including all those stock option grants.... it's no surprise.... Bruce T Says:

And if sales were to come back for the new vehicles GM will produce. A leaner, more competitive GM would be a great benefit if it were to be successful in the restructuring.
