MICHAEL MacDOWELL | GM makes it big second time around
In April 2010, General Motors Chairman Ed Whitacre announced that GM would pay back $8.1 billion in government loans. It was greeted by cheers from employees and no doubt from U.S. treasury officers as well.

This may be a good investment, for it appears that General Motors has learned its lesson.
