GM Submits Plan for Long-Term Viability to the U.S. Congress
The plan calls for:
· Increased production of fuel-efficient vehicles and energy-saving technologies;
· Rationalization of brands, models and retail outlets;
· Reduced wage and benefit costs, including further reductions in executive compensation;
· Significant capital structure restructuring;
· Further consolidation in manufacturing operations.
General Motors today offers 20 models with 30 miles per gallon or more on the highway—more than any other manufacturer. General Motors is also the world leader in flex fuel technologies, with over 3 million flex fuel-equipped vehicles on U.S. roads today. Flex fuels represent the fastest way for the United States to reduce its dependence on imported oil.
While remaining a full-line manufacturer, GM will substantially change its product mix over the next four years, and launch predominately high-mileage, energy-efficient cars and crossovers.
In the Plan, further shifts to smaller displacement gas engines will occur—8-cylinder engines are replaced by 6-cylinder engines, 6-cylinder engines are replaced by 4-cylinder engines. More extensive use of turbo-charging is enabling the shift to smaller displacement engines, providing better fuel economy with normal operations but offering power in reserve for emergency situations. 4-cylinder engine usage, for example, will increase by 42% by 2012, and fuel-saving 6-speed automatic transmission volume will increase by 400%, to over 90% of GM‘s U.S. automatic transmission sales volume.

The communism experiment is not for the USA
The Communist system is characterized by the absence of social classes and by common ownership of production means, and repartition of goods is done on the principle of "to each according to his/her need," each yielding fully "according to his/her abilities."
Everyone is tempted to construct on these "base principles" a society without money, no government, no armies, and all other fantasies.
Few talented writers competed with those dreams. George Orwell and Aldous Huxley did their best in "Animal Farm" (1945), "1984" (1949) and "Brave new world" (1932) respectively, expressing their fears for the destruction of the liberty of the individual into a totalitarian (communist) regime long before it was evident to everybody. We call genius the people with sensitivity beyond their time.
In short we are dealing with two lies
Now we are talking about reality not fiction, about recent past, about inconsistent scientific thinking, about false premises, about lies.
The premise of a classless society, with all equal, and keeping all equal, generated the dictatorship of the proletariat at the beginning (a form of social revenge against the wealthy and the intellectuals) and an absurd terror (the democratic centralism) against everybody's initiative beyond government control later.
The premise that unlimited human needs can be satisfied in a world with limited resources is an obvious error even for a beginner in economics. In our world there is competition because everything is in short supply.
These two lies are:
1. That humans are equal, and
2. That human wants can be satisfied
The humans are equal only in front of God at the Last Judgment. Until we die, everybody likes to be equal for more not for less. Human need for food, shelter/safety, love, social appreciation, artistry products, and esthetic or divine devotion are unlimited. For me this is very clear.
What 47 years life experience in Romania taught me about Socialism
All the 20th century communist experiments created a classless society in which the individuals are negated -- everybody can be replaced by anybody.
- The free competition was forbidden. The motivation from pay or retribution disappeared. The material satisfaction from work and entrepreneurial spirit were the biggest sins.
- The equality created was at the lowest level. A top scientist was paid at the level of an unskilled worker.
As a result it was a no-hope society for many and a "safe" non-motivational environment for the majority. Only the informers were in competition for more opportunities, to maintain all that the repressive rules enforced.
That is why I call the communist experiment an anti human society.

Support for the Auto Industry is in America’s Best Interest
Almost 4% of U.S. gross domestic product is auto‐related and represents 10% of U.S. industrial production by value. One out of every 10 U.S. jobs is auto‐related, and auto workers receive $335 billion annually in compensation. Specifically, GM, Ford and Chrysler account for roughly 70 percent of U.S. auto production and are estimated to support around five million jobs across all 50 states. Failure of one automaker would trigger a domino effect on the supply chain and the finance subsidiaries and on other domestic automakers. I have been working for GM since 1991. We at GM have been through many structural and optimization cuts. What is your opinion about the loan for auto industry at this time?
