And just watch the economy crumble.

You do realise GM has a big part of the US economy on its back...



GM total revenue is about 2%-3% of total US GDP. If GM disappeared off the face of the earth today, the other automakers would gladly pick up the slack in production.

The US as an economy would be fine.

There's more of a threat to the US economy from the Hurricanes destroying the gulf coast and its oil economy than GM disappearing.
