Iron man who has become sort of one of that spokespeople Bredesen a whole story emerged renown as the mayor of Lansing Michigan. And John fund of course is a -- journal columnist welcome. I have to book the -- you know -- it that I can't help but -- you know where -- now some indication that they might consider prepackaged bankruptcy . Although the company today is saying no no we still don't want to go into bankruptcy and my question is not I mean look at these numbers okay. -- big part of thirteen billion from the government but you know how much if you bought every single share of General Motors today. It would only cost you one point three billion dollars. And now they want another. Sixteen billion more some just asking
General Motors hitting their lowest point. In 75. Years today and GM is not just yet to -- they've already got. Fourteen billion dollars from American taxpayers. In federal loans with sales plummeting more than 53% just last month and keep in mind -- lost thirty. Billion dollars last year in a way. So the company's auditors have been looking at the bucks they say they're not sure that GM will be able to avoid bankruptcy . Back in December CEO Rick Wagoner talked about the connection between sales and bankruptcy . --
my father's family is from Michigan my uncle Paul fund work for General Motors for over thirty years he's not retired. I care about the devastation that's happened in Michigan but let's be clear. Airline companies have gone bankrupt for over generation in this country Continental Airlines went bankrupt three times. Thousands of people laid out of work that's of the company that -- flew real people huge. And visits with real relatives they went out of bankruptcy did that mean they stopped producing. Airlines now it meant that they went into reorganization. They cleaned up their pension and other obligations and the emerge stronger than ever. Car companies are important to America but. I'm not going to say airline companies are less important if airline companies can go through bankruptcy . And come back stronger than ever and start rehiring people and reorganizing. I don't see why car companies that apparently don't have
I had -- may I finish. My uncle. Who worked for General Motors for over thirty years says the management of the company needs to be flushed out the only way to really flesh out the management. Is not to give them more money from the taxpayers. It's to have a bankruptcy judge appoint new management just as they appointed new management with airline companies. And by the way with almost every other industry in this country which also goes through bankruptcy . And still continues to produce product since the open and I used to employ people -- my uncle I tell you that the only way. The only way to do this if you get the management out which won't be gotten out if you have more taxpayer bailouts. Is to go through bankruptcy .
