Nearly three-fifths of the employees at General Motors Corp. work for a company that makes cars that are admired, popular and profitable.

They just don't work in the United States.

Yeah, they do great business overseas. I'm not sure that they do horrible here, but they do have a huge cost for their retirees that they don't have there.

If GM, Ford, and Chrysler did not go to overseas markets they would have been a long time ago!! In order to compete with the Japanese three they had to do this, there was no other way to continue business. Toyota, Honda, and Nissan are global companies that have plants all over the world, so do the German three of Daimler (Mercedes-Benz), BMW, and VW.

News, General Motors' strength is overseas.

Too bad they couldn't get Europe to bail them out.
