Mary Barra was to appear before a House Committee today on this and like issues. I have not seen the results yet. Do you think she was treated rudely or what?

Since all House committees are run by Republicans, I assume she was. She was not treated rudely. Senators from both parties did ask some tough questions, however. AzWm

This business decision happened before GM went bankrupt. They were a private company. Why are you cons whining? This has nothing to do with government. I thought you all believed that private enterprise was perfect? The MARKET IS GOD!

I thought you all believed that private enterprise was perfect? The MARKET IS GOD! You misread the discussion of issue and want to make it political so I will join in. Now I find it strange that Toyota is the car most nearly "Made in America". It is the engineering behind the products that made GM go under along with the burden of the unions. It is the engineering and poor judgment that made Cobalt such a lemon and liability of GM.

Do you think that anyone appearing before a House committee should be treated kindly? In this context, how do you define "rude"? Do you think Sebelius was treated "rudely"? I sure as hell do (and I think she should have been gone months ago at the soonest). I think everyone should be treated even handedly until the tone and truthfulness of their responses and level of cooperation dictate otherwise. I agree on Sebelius and even think that she should be held in contempt of Congress.

Was it a business decision by a private company? What is "it"? GM's decision to act badly with the "lemon" Cobalt issue(s) or Toyota's decision to "buy American"?

I am sure it was a poorly thought out business decision by GM. That is one of the many reasons I have never owned GM although I did own GMAC debt at one time. One can only speculate on the reasons that decision was made. Now why is it not right to talk about Toyotas contrast to GM when it is part of the picture? My question was because you formed a very poorly worded question that could have been about Toyota reasons to "buy American".

So when Toyota sold cars that had acceleration problems that killed people, and then hid it. That was a good business decision?

Duke, in case it went over your head my point refers to William's thread title about 'Government Motors". It was not government motors when that decision was made. It was a publically owned company.

If that is what they did it was not right, but not part of what we are talking about here.

I get that and that is why the subject sort of morphed into the pre-government rape of bondholders to benefit the unions. GM made some bad decisions along the way that helped them get into such bad shape that the ill conceived bailout was done.

If you are talking about the Prius, virtually all the cases turned out to be bogus. There was no problem, just bad drivers. The horrible case in which a family was killed locally had to do with too many floor mats installed incorrectly. AzWm

Toyota acting badly does not mitigate the actions of GM.
