Obama claims ‘New Beginning For GM’ After Bankruptcy
After years of losses, the troubled car manufacturer is forced into bankruptcy. GM is set to close a dozen facilities and cut more than 20,000 jobs. General Motors filed for bankruptcy protection earlier today, a move that became inevitable after years of losses and market share declines capped by a dramatic plunge in sales in recent months. President Obama today announced that General Motors was entering bankruptcy protection, and that the federal government was giving it an additional $30 billion, making taxpayers a 60% owner of the auto giant. “Understand we’re making these investments not because I want to spend the American people’s tax dollars, but because I want to protect them. Instead of taking so much stock in GM, we could have simply offered the company more loans.”
