That's at least how much we're going to lose on GM http://www.theatlantic.com/business...-isnt-getting-its-money-back-out-of-gm/65591/ Poor business decisions have consequences. GM should have been allowed to go bankrupt.
But on a serious note China was ready to swoop in and buy GM, considering that GM is now selling more cars in China then the USA people would have been pissed if that had happened. Chrysler should have been left to die but not GM.
