“General Motors Corp., the biggest U.S. automaker, said it still has enough liquidity through 2008.” And then what?
If you say you have enough liquidity through the end of the year, you don’t have enough liquidity.
Recommendation: What’s good for GM (subprime loans, CLOs, etc.), is not good for the country.

Liquidity is good! Since they have it they should keep producing their gas guzzling trucks and SUV’s.
Anal, i believe you mean “in the long run we’re all dead”. Unfortunately, no one told GM that “the long run” is a bit more than the 8 months we have left in ’08.
