with me now, step burgess, a senior editor at aol auto. thank you for joining us.star was making the rounds today, all i could think to myself, and gm ceo is doing a good job. all i could think, when you needed them, but now you want to get rid of the government image, so you what the taxpayer to test it out for a loss. too bad. >> i think they do need to get out. at think that it really hurts gm to continue to have this label and stigma of government motors. and nobody wants one quarter of their business run by the government his or own but the government. >> no, i agree with you. a think it would be better. to bad. they took the government in the first place when they needed the help. now when it's out working for them they want to say get lost at a loss, and that's your and my money. such is the government. it's taxpayers that went in and help them out. that's not fair. >> i think the money paid dividends in saving the company. keeping it together, and by doing that i think it was worth the price. overall is going to us -- that with this may be 15 billion. melis
