Hey, look, free rental car!
Ah, I see where you are confused.
The GM Financial entity cited is not the same entity as the GM vehicle manufacturing entity.
Closely related separate divisions, but ultimately owned by the same group.
When trying to comprehend where all the taxpayer money went, one has to be careful to be very specific about questioning which GM company ultimately received the bailout money, and which ones are supposedly repaying the “loans”.
The money made the former bad loan departments of the GM financial divisions “whole”.
The GM manufacturing divisions will need more future
taxpayer funded bailouts for their Union retirement divisions.
It sucks to be on the bottom tier of a ponzi scheme.
Especially when one (we, the majority of USA taxpaying citizens) did not willingly participate in or benefit from it.
But supposedly it is vital for our nation that the total collapse of GM, and RICO charges GM, be delayed for as long as possible...
Yeah, that last part continues to confuse me, too!
