Dont you people want GM to be around anymore? Dont you understand that the govt is why GM is in this spot! They made it easy for the other auto companies except the big 3 to make it in the us!

This post unfortunately reflects a new reality in America, one that I think is the start of a slide toward mediocrity.
Yes, GM failed because of everyone else. It had nothing to do with management or the UAW that represented the workers.
Little Johnny isn't doing well in school because the teacher isn't good enough. It has nothing to do with the parents not providing a home in which education is emphasized. Or better yet it has nothing to do with the fact that Johnny doesn't study.
Yup, Americans are fat because of McDonald's or their parents' genes. It has absolutely nothing to do with people making poor food choices and leading sedentary lifestyles.
Financial institutions failed because borrowers had guns to the heads of Bank of America and Citigroup, forcing them to lend to credit unworthy people. And alternatively, borrowers were forced to buy larger homes that they couldn't afford.
When Americans stop externalizing responsibility, you will see lots more good start happening in America.
