The House/Senate will vote again on the issue in January when a majority of Democraps (I spelled that correctly) will be in power. Let's hope that GM, and Chrysler have enough cash until then. Donald Trump came up with an idea of letting them go into Chapter 11 prior to the loan/bailout. I don't know what that will/will not do for the companies. Ford has enough liquidity to hold them for a while, but just wanted cash just in case. Let's see what happens.
