General Motors may be looking more like Government Motors every day. Fritz Henderson is stepping down according to a report from CNBC’s Phil Lebeau, citing sources. What is not clear is if Henderson was asked or told to resign in the symbolic falling-on-the-sword maneuver or if Henderson just couldn’t take running the company under the constraints with the government being involved in every decision.
Of course several things have not gone as planned under Henderson’s watch with falling unit sales. Either way, this is another blow for the government’s “oversight and pay shouldn’t matter” stance it has when running giant corporations. American International Group, Inc.

Credit Card Companies Are Doing Something Nuts
Credit card companies are at war. The biggest issuers are handing out free rewards and benefits to win the best customers.
It’s possible to find cards paying unlimited 1.5%, 2%, and even more today. That’s free money for qualified borrowers, and the type of thing that would be crazy to pass up. Those rewards can add up to thousands of dollars every year in free money, and include other benefits as well.
We’ve assembled some of the best credit cards for users today. Don’t miss these offers because they won’t be this good forever.
Flywheel Publishing has partnered with CardRatings for our coverage of credit card products. Flywheel Publishing and CardRatings may receive a commission from card issuers.
