Boo hoo hoo for GMC. What they don't publicize is that the $4 billion in benefits due to the auto workers is for more than one million people (I forget the exact number of past and current employees) while approximately 130,000 white collar employees have a $5 billion benefit package. I'll leave the math up to you.

Also, under current federal guidelines, by the year 2010, our automobiles will still not meet the pollution standards of China. I'm not making a statement about how great China is, in fact, they are currently the world's largest polluter - just funny that we can't produce an auto up to their standards.
