I would also like to add that fear is not a valid reason to support bad management and irresponsible corporate citizens.
That really depends on how bad the worst case scenario is actually.
Preventing a crash of the whole system might be worth rewarding a few people for bad behavior.

The question is whether we should fear a hyperinflation more than a hard recession or the other way around.
I don't think that I know the right answer.

I also don't know whether bad management is the course for GM to go down in this case.
Cars in general got a big hit in demand because of the financial crisis.
If a firm can't sell the products it expects to sell it normally has to take a credit.
At the moment there no credit available.

Talking about this in terms of “bad news” or “bad judgment by business leaders” seems archaic. It’s like describing World War One as “a serious diplomatic concern.”
