Of course, the bailout worked. That's why Detroit is booming. Of course, every rational person knows the so-called bailout was a payoff to unions and to that extent it worked. It's costing taxpayers billions and when the taxpayer funds are shut off, then GM will go into bankruptcy which it should have done when it failed.
"DETROIT (AP) - From the street, the two decomposing bodies were nearly invisible, concealed in an overgrown lot alongside worn-out car tires and a moldy sofa. The teenagers had been shot, stripped to their underwear and left on a deserted block. They were just the latest victims of foul play whose remains went undiscovered for days after being hidden deep inside Detroit's vast urban wilderness - a crumbling wasteland rarely visited by outsiders and infrequently patrolled by police."

General Motors' profits fell 41% in the second quarter as troubles in Europe undercut strong sales in North America. America's largest automaker made $1.5bn in the second quarter of 2012, compared with $2.5bn for the same period last year. Revenue fell to $37.6bn from $39.4bn in the second quarter of 2011. The results exceeded analysts' estimates, but further underlined Europe's drag on theUS economy.
