In a dramatic move aimed at preventing the US auto 1 industry from imminent 2 collapse 3, President Bush announced that the government will provide about 17.4 billion dollars and low interest loans to General Motors and Chrysler. Bankruptcy 4 by any of the Big Three, he said, would almost guarantee failure.
Given the current state of the auto industry and the economy, Chapter 11 is unlikely to work for American auto makers 5 at this time.
Ford 6 in a statement said its liquidity 7 is adequate and didn't need a government loan, but Rick Wagoner, the CEO of the General Motors said his company would access billions of loan dollars immediately and will now focus on fully 8 implementing 9 its restructuring plan.
People, will be, should have a lot of confidence that, not only General Motors, but the US industry is on the right path, and as we execute the plans we’ve laid out, that the future of the industry could be extremely bright.
Well, many conservative Republicans criticize the auto bailout is throwing good money after bad. President-elect Barack Obama had a news conference in Chicago announcing his latest cabinet choices, called President Bush's move "A necessary step" for the auto industry.
“They should seize on this opportunity over the next several weeks and months to come up with a plan that's sustainable, and that means they're gonna have to make some hard choices.”
In fact, the three-year loans to GM and Chrysler come with conditions, such as requiring the companies to prove by March 31st, that they can become viable 10.
Efiaim Levy 11 is an equity 12 auto industry analyst 13 at Standard & Poor’s.
"No matter what that viability 14 plan is, its gonna take significant additional funding come March 31st to get these companies through 2009."
That's a prospect 15 that Barack Obama will soon confront when he takes on the problems of the auto makers upon taking office in just one month.
