The federal government and the United Auto Workers are about to become majority owners of General Motors!  Government control of private businesses is simply a bad idea.  The federal government will now influence all sides of the negotiating table through its ownership interest in Government Motors and its influence on bailed out banks.

Further, where does this leave companies like Ford who've taken steps to reform their business model without government bailouts?
