(Newser) – General Motors is set to complete its bankruptcy reorganization, the Detroit Free Press reports. The sale of certain GM divisions to the “new” GM—largely owned by the US Treasury—is expected to happen tomorrow, at the expiration of a holding period for opponents of the deal to make objections. Two unidentified parties, likely GM creditors, had sought to file appeals, but their requests were denied.

It seems that just about anything --including nationalization-- would be an improvement.
