Should never have been bailed out in the first place.
Lee Iacocca, who helped developed the Mustang for Ford, joined Chrysler and at least paid back that bail out to the Government about 7 years ahead of schedule.
GM on the other hand repaid the loan portion of the bailout ahead of schedule, with interest. It used TARP money ($49.5B) it had already received but hadn’t spent. Taxpayers are still stuck with GM stock that isn’t worth what was paid for it.
Not a fan of either brand now...
