I think part of Geo's concern is the lack of a source and the veracity of the claim. The Bush administration can not stop funding to General Motors except through a veto -- something which has not come up. Congress has the authority to grant whatever money it sees fit. I seem to recall the Democratic Congress asked for more information before going forward. General Motors themselves has claimed that bankruptcy is not an option, so saying that they are on the verge of bankruptcy may not be accurate either. I haven't made any alterations to your work, but I also hope you take the information given here in helping you to frame the scope and overall presentation of the article.

::It takes 60 votes to pass major legislation through the Senate--the Democrats have 51 votes now, (and will have 58 or so starting in Jabuary). The Bush administration said it would oppose a bailout, meaning a veto, and the GOP in the Senate has been strongly opposed. That's how things are blocked. Geo's insults (calling a very well researchedarticle "garbage") ruin his credibility in the matter. GM itself says it is on the verge of bankruptcy, and the board is now evaluating different bankruptcy strategies. [[User:RJJensen|RJJensen]] 21:28, 1 December 2008 (EST)
