The government is not a bank and should not be in the business of making loans...Federal government in ownership or partnership with businesses that is a Soviet style or Fascist style system, respectively.

I don't care about those business executives who get huge bonuses...doesn't bother me one bit, never has...except as I see it being rather clueless as to how it would be perceived by the public, especially at a time when you are laying off workers. Seems kind of tasteless, but it is none of my business. Class envy is and always has been a strawman for Liberals.

When it comes to tax-payer funds, suddenly it is my business.

I agree completely, however they did. As shareholders, and guarantors of some debt. Not the first time they've done this.

That's right, the question is whether to act within the law, as a shareholder, which probably won't accomplish much, or break new ground in the level of governmental control over the economy. I'd suggest the former is preferable.
