Well, as the second article suggests, it would depend on whose behest the claim is being made.

And, yes, half-truth advertisements -- by the government -- are troubling. Lest you forget, you and I -- in the form of the federal government -- are majority stockholders in GM.

Of course, there is an American car company that didn't take a dime of TARP and is pretty healthy, considering the state of the economy...

In other words -- already posted -- Ford is an American car company that didn't take a dime of TARP and is pretty healthy, considering the state of the economy...

Ford's doing alright. Hats off for sure.

I guess you'd have popped a cap in GM or withheld salvation, (that) being the same thing.

Let transnational capital gobble em up.

That's a valid take, tho' not necessarily a popular one.

I wanted the same thing to happen to the megabanks and bank receivers, plus AIG

Wasn't in the cards.

Good old Yoni, a duped tool of the criminal conservatives and corps blowing smokescreen and bullshit about socialist-government-controlled GM while remaining totally silent about the real criminals in the financial and corporate sector.
