According to documents reviewed by ABC News, Rick Wagoner will walk away with a $20 million retirement package. Even though the U.S. Treasury has banned GM from giving retirement packages to Wagoner or any other senior executives, Wagoner is eligible to collect $20 million in retirement benefits.

Wagoner was asked to resign his position of Chief Executive Officer of General Motors over the weekend by the Obama administration as a condition for the company to receive additional government aid.

The auto-task force said that the U.S. Treasury will fund GM for 60 days while it comes up with another restructuring plan.

    awsome! He should take as much as he can get just to prove how stupid this administration is (along with Bush who also gave them bailout money)

    This is nothing but a SPIT IN THE FACE to all taxpayers. After bringing down GM he gets a “reward” of “only” $20M, how can this guy live with himself ?
