so the bailout $ was just as a i thought, a band-aide for a company that wouldn't be able to make a quick recovery which we all knew they wouldn't. how could they?
$20k to early retire - okay i get that
$20k to any union employee - is there a cap on the number of employees who can take this offer? Will they also get unemployment? I think they can.
$20k mutliplied by the possible number of employees eligible or who will take the offer = R&D, Marketing $, Turn Around $, Debt Paid, etc. all lost
Also I wonder what the real $ amount is for a severance package for some of these employees would be since they are throwing in the $25k for them to purchase a car.
man i got to <3 the future investments the gov't is making for my $ ... very well done ... my hats off to you

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
