13 deaths over the last several years from faulty, union made Government Motors (General Motors) vehicles could have been solved, for 57 cents. Yes, the automaker bailed out by Obama with our tax dollars sold cars dating back to the Bush days with fault ignition switches that lead to the death of 13 people. It could have all been prevent with a 57 cent part to fix it. Aren’t you glad your tax dollars went to save this crap company and the pensions of the lazy union thugs who made these cars? I will never buy another GM car again. If i even buy another American car, it will be Ford only.

Members of Congress tore into GM management during a heated Capitol Hill hearing probing fatal car wrecks linked to a defective part, claiming people died because the auto giant failed to fix what amounted to a 57-cent problem.
“We know that GM made a series of terrible decisions, and we know that this tragedy has exposed significant gaps in federal law that allowed them to do so,” Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Colo., said.
General Motors’ new CEO, Mary Barra, and the head of the nation’s auto safety watchdog testified Tuesday before a House subcommittee, on the defect in small cars that is linked to 13 deaths.
Fueling the outrage over the malfunction, DeGette said lawmakers obtained documents showing how GM had actually looked at possible fixes for the defect in 2005, but determined it would be too expensive to address.
The “unacceptable cost increase,” she said, turned out to be 57 cents apiece.
