My thoughts on unions.

(assumed there had to be some real fiscal problem to hang this on. silly me.)

most of the pension fiscal problems nation-wide are due to:

1. exorbitant, extortionate costs of sick-care

2. VRWC stealing $1T in pension funds. Pension funds "lost" and guess who "won"?

3. Wall St thieving and cheating in the municipal bond market.

GM posted a profit because gas prices dropped and people started buying big trucks and SUV's again. When gas prices go up, GM profits will go in the shit can again...

GM getting another $14 billion in tax breaks didn't hurt either.
