Run by SEIU, every time union dues are collected most go to the Democratic party/ Barack Hussein Obama to fundamentally change America. Not for me! Not for America!

What? GM is not associated with the union SEIU is it, aren't most GM employees a part of the UAW? Is there information out there contrary to this?

I'm sorry, but I thought we were discussing GM, and them paying back their bailout money, and then you chirped in about Unions and Obama, I was just trying to ask for a connection. Sorry to bother you, nothing to see here, please move along.

GM filings with the SEC reveal that GM was paying 7 percent interest on a $6.7 billion TARP debt. The filings also confirm that the source of funds for GM’s debt repayments was a multibillion-dollar TARP-funded escrow account at Treasury; that means it was taxpayer money — not earnings.

Again.....what? Was it ever stated that TARP was not taxpayer money? Taxpayers for the most part fund the federal government, hasn't it always been that way. I think we should be happy the monies are being paid back regardless of whether they loans should have been made in the first place. Let's cross this one off the list, and move on to the next item.

Well - first off - it's still government motors because the US government still owns a large percentage of the stock in general motors. The only way the government - meaning we, the US tax payers will get our money back is if the price of GM stock increases to a level high enough for the government to sell it and get some of our money back. We can only hope - and there's that word again.
Second, are you saying you are ok with GM paying back a loan from the US government with a loan (or TARP) from the federal government? That math does not make sense to me. How can we lend GM money so they don't fail and then let them pay back the loan with escrowed funds from the taxpayers?

Methinks it might be a good time to buy MOTORS LIQ CO COM stock... right around .60 a share today. I think the ads they started running in the last couple days will generate some activity. I am not an investment advisor, but I did stay in my car one night in the Jetty parking lot..

Labor More Car Jobs Shift to Mexico The Obama Administration spent more than $80 billion last year to prop up General Motors and Chrysler in a controversial effort to save millions of American manufacturing jobs. Both car companies have since stabilized, and business is also looking up at Ford Motor (F). Yet as they map out their investment plans in the year ahead, the U.S. auto companies will likely put most of their new jobs and plant capacity in Mexico, not the U.S., auto analysts predict. Chrysler announced in February that it's spending $550 million to retool its factory in Toluca to assemble the subcompact Fiat 500 model. Last month, Ford reopened an assembly plant in Cuautitlán to build Fiesta compacts for the 2011 model year. The factory will generate 2,000 jobs and is part of $3 billion in investments in Mexico announced since 2008. In the U.S., Ford has closed four assembly plants since 2006 and plans to close four more facilities by the end of 2011. Mexico's gains will come at the expense of workers in the U.S. and Canada, says Dennis DesRosiers, president of DesRosiers Automotive Consultants in Richmond Hill, Ontario. Mexico's share of North American auto production will rise to 19 percent over the next decade, from an average of 12 percent from 2000 to 2009, according to DesRosiers. Over the same period the U.S. will lose 7 percentage points, to 65 percent of the market, and Canada's share will hold at 16 percent. "There is going to be more capacity put into North America—and Mexico is going to get more than its fair share," he says. Moves to Mexico may speed up as Chrysler and GM pay back government bailout money and the political scrutiny they face eases www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/10_27/b4185010570308.htm
