No one that does not hold 50.1% of a companies shares should be making these types of decisions. Since when does a former community agitator and ambulance chaser know anything about running an actual business. Plus, the argument that they're taking a bailout of "our" tax dollars doesn't hold water. Has anyone mentioned the fact that GM and their executives have also been some of the largest taxpayers in the US for at least the last 50 years? Sounds like they're just getting some of their own money back! If this doesn’t scare the hell out of you, there’s something wrong, really.
