Obama has decided bankruptcy best for GM
Very interesting turn of events.
Quote:
SINGAPORE (Reuters) – President Barack Obama has determined that a prepackaged bankruptcy is the best way for General Motors Corp. to restructure and become a competitive automaker, Bloomberg reported, quoting people familiar with the matter.
Obama also is prepared to let Chrysler LLC go bankrupt and be sold off piecemeal if the third-largest U.S. automaker can't form an alliance with Fiat SpA, Bloomberg said, citing members of Congress who have been briefed on the subject and two other people familiar with the administration's deliberations.
Obama on Monday gave GM 60 days to come up with deeper cost and debt reductions than the biggest U.S. automaker had proposed in a viability plan submitted last month.
But a "quick and surgical" bankruptcy the Obama administration described as an option appears to be inevitable, the people familiar with the matter said in the Bloomberg report.
