Lmao.  And they want to take over the health care industry.  Why does America confer expertise and competency on this group of faceless jackasses?  People that donâ€t need to turn a profit are going to be more customer responsive than those that do?  Lol.  Idiocracy at its finest

I could have sworn that Obama apologists were claiming that the US Gov't had made money on the GM bailout.

My recollection was Ford took no money, but that could be errant.  They bragged about it at the time.

I've noted before that a common belief among liberals is that "ordinary people" are too dumb to handle their affairs and need "smart people" in government helping them, guiding them, saving for them, protecting them, etc.  It all sounds fine until you realize that the Clintonesque people in government end up running things and the perhaps well meaning minions are passed over.

So, you have a large corrupt government serving the 0.1%.

Ford took no money. GM and Chrysler did.

Just the natural progression in action.  The do-gooder eager beavers of the JFK era have been replaced with the Clinton and Obamaistas.

Wasn't that a option thrown out when Obama gave Ford and them all the stimulus  money.?
Every " Family" would get a one time $250,000 check. to stimulate the Economy.
They wouldn't have been able to make enough Colt 45 . LOl

Pretty sure Ford was the only one not to take the money.  That's one reason I have 2 fords in the garage.

Correct.  Ford would not take the bail out.

Ford should have taken the money and built better cars.   The worst cars I've owned were Fords.
