GM Bankruptcy?

If General Motors were to file bankruptcy, it could change the world or would
it? Yes a GM bankruptcy filing would change the world. Right now with all the
over regulation it is amazing that any company can make money these days. I
guarantee such a move would change the world. It would definitely wake up the
Unions and the governments over regulation on our economic engine. In fact
sometimes it seems we do everything to hold down our economy from screaming
forward.
With all the over regulations in this country to start, grow and run a
successful small business, medium size corporation or a multi-national
conglomerate based in the US. Why do we attack and use regulations to slow down
our economic might? Because folks it is the way it is deliberately set up. You
see at every level we have placed rules and bureaucracy to slow ourselves.
The largest corporations in the World are constantly being bombarded by rules
and regulations put in place by regulators and politicians. So they are forced
to move the operations out of the country to reduce costs, raise prices and pay
off all the politicians you can find, no matter what side, fund them, as you
will need them just to do business in this nation.
It is interesting the talk now after the 3rd quarter loss at General Motors
and how they may sell off GMAC. Right now with the housing boom getting ready to
pull back and some over extended upside down foreclosures due to job losses in
the downturn of the business cycle, that might not be a bad idea actually. It
seems GMAC is going to have its own issues.
The Delphi Bankruptcy deal is a problem indeed, I too worry about the under
funded pension costs and these out of control health care costs, as for a
company like GM these are problematic issues to say the least. It is good that
the Union has been cutting a little slack at GM these days. Ford is next and lay
offs there will be big indeed.
Indeed a bankruptcy at GM would change the world, but why do we need such a
strong signal as a wake up call when it is obvious that we need to fix the
problems that are right their in front of us. We all should be thinking here, as
all of this effects us one way or another and China is not getting any smaller
so we better get on the stick and take care of business in real time. Think on
this.
