Government Motors Goes Bankrupt-- Asks For $30 Billion More
Sunday, June 14, 2009



General Motors filed for bankruptcy this morning.
They are the 4th largest US business and largest industrial company to ever file for bankruptcy.
Yahoo Finance reported:
General Motors filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection Monday as part of the Obama administration's plan to shrink the automaker to a sustainable size and give a majority ownership stake to the federal government.
GM's bankruptcy filing is the fourth-largest in U.S. history and the largest for an industrial company. The company said it has $172.81 billion in debt and $82.29 billion in assets.
As it reorganizes, the fallen icon of American industrial might will rely on $30 billion of additional financial assistance from the Treasury Department and $9.5 billion from Canada. That's on top of about $20 billion in taxpayer money GM already has received in the form of low-interest loans.
Meanwhile... The US dollar now has dropped 19% against the pound in the last 3 months and 14% against the euro.
