But what I'm driving at isn't what would or might happen in the event a collapse of the industry. My specific interest is in what sort of plan for recovery is being proposed by Mr. Wagoner and his friends from Grosse Point, if any. So far I've seen nothing along that line. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong places?
My impression is that the guy wants billions of bucks for short term working capital just to survive in a status quo mode for few more months (or less). If that's the case, and no economic and/or market miracles intervene, he'll be back again with the robins (or better, ravens) come spring. That is, he seems to be buying time, but for what? What does GM plan to do differently during the brief period before the money runs out again?
Like you, I have no dog in an ideological fight over whether a cash bailout is "right" or "wrong"; just whether it's smart or stupid. I'm thinking like a banker who *can't* bundle the loan and pass the trash. I want a business plan, and I don't see one.
