I don't get this. How can the lose money unless either GM, Chrysler, or GMAC doesn't survive? Having said this, I don't understand where GM got authorization to pay taxpayer money to the German gov't and other EU governments to pay back money advanced to Opel while GM looked for a buyer. Now that the GM board pulled the rug out from under Fritz on the Opel deal, that EU money has to be paid back. Anyone know how this works?
