As a matter of fact I do as I managed Executive Protection for one of the Big 3 for 11 years. I was there during conferences, meetings and at their homes. This was with the CEO and all the Board members. So I do have extensive knowledge in this area. And it isn't running into socialism's arms as you describe, It's suppose to be a loan like you get from a bank and you pay back. It's funny how you are looking at this as the taxpayers are just giving out a handout when it's just suppose to be a loan.
so not only is your viewpoint disingenuous, it's also emotionally biased. come on man, do you honestly think the government won't take a loss on this? it's impossible. this isn't a simple loan, this is the US government keeping a company solvent by purchasing a controlling share. that isn't a loan, it's a suicide pact. if these companies go tits up, we're out the money no matter what. there is no collateral. and no amount of advertising (or government incentives) is going to make a car company that sells gigantic gas-guzzling pieces of shit stay in business.
Ahhhhh......Let me guess.....Yer a Honda fanboy......Pfffffffffft.......
I like their trucks and some of their cars and so do many others.
uh no, i drive a '00 dodge neon with 140k miles on it. so guess again. my point regarding honda was that even though they exist in the same hostile market as the other (failing) car companies, they still only had ONE FISCAL QUARTER where they didn't show a profit. and once again, it isn't because they had superior advertising.

-If anyone has been insulting it's been you.
-You must feel inferior or threatened in regards to that last statement.
