Perhaps GM will add a $1000 savings bond and negative interest coupled with selling cars at a loss in order to ramp up their sales next. The auto makers business model right now doesn't make a lot of sense to me. Borrow money and pay people 7% on some of their bonds and then lend that money at 0 interest. Sell cars at a loss in order to keep factories running so you can sell more cars at a loss. Buy high, sell low and make up the difference in volume.

I realize that I am only a tin bender but that seems like dairy farming to me where you add more cows in order to sell more milk at a loss in order to try and survive. Being in the dairy state I can tell you from experience that model hasn't worked worth a shit.
