I don't understand blaming GM's problems on "accountants". GM made bad cars (mostly) for pretty long stretch there. That wasn't an accountant's decision, that was an executive's decision. I'm an accountant, and while I know all the stereotypes, it wasn't us accountants who make pretty good money making that choice, it was the executives making absolutely gigantic sums of money who made the poor decisions to run GM into the ground. I assure you that us "accountants" don't have that kind of power, haha.
