One thing I couldn't find out maybe you guys know is that when exactly are they going to
close the doors on Pontiac(date)? Until all their produced cars are sold or they'll continue
to produce up to a certain date? or did they officially seized production as of 4-24-09??

Wow, that is amazing! I can't believe people still the economy is getting better. One, if not more of the big 3 will claim bankruptcy. And still the govt. will give that money to the perpertrators... What a joke!!!

Meh, it's a long way, but the economy is starting to show some signs. Doesn't change the fact that these companies being mismanaged the past few years are what did them in. Chrysler will be filing for Chapter 11 next week probably. Seems inevitable for GM. Atleast Ford has their **** together.

The economy is showing signs of big companies making profit. That's about it. Wells Fargo 3 billion... There are still well over 500,000 people being laid off in this country every month. It will not get better fast, that's for sure.
I mean we get what 13 dollars more every week in our pay. For what? So we have to pay it back at the end of the year? Thanks fed govt. for putting me in a different tax bracket... Who-Hoo!!!

If half the damn people on disability and welfare would have just worked instead of being lazy SOB this country would not be in the shape it is. 20 TO 50 years ago people actually worked for thing things they wanted. Now Most people act like there to good to get out and work and sweat and want everything to be handed to them.

Mad Mike,
I would agree with that paragraph to an extent. People are loosing jobs at an alarming rate and that has nothing to do with welfare. The rug is being taken out from under us. This was being orchestrated when Bush was in office. If things keep going the way they are the American people will do something about it....eventually. Only 4 percent of the population won the Civil War.

Won't see me complain about banks atleast making some money. Hell easy money for me. Dumped a little money into some bank stock and doubled my money in a month. Housing looks like it could start to bottom out soon as well. People forget that the housing and credit failures is what got us where we were. And GM has only themselves to blame for where they are at. Yea people are being laid off, but do you expect that to just stop. Companies being in a position to start hiring again is going to come later. Without everything else stabilizing, that's not going to happen.
