Proculation Proculation:
Don't forget the US government owns GM. They are just using the means they possess to unfairly help their assets. Welcome to corporate America !
Given your trend of thought, the Bank must own your house, your car and the credit card companies must own the rest.
Just because the US government gave GM a large loan doesn't mean they own GM, unless of course the definition of loan has changed in the past couple of months.
And, if it has, then I guess the Japanese Government owns Toyota and is using the means they possess to unfairly help their assets.
You can't pick and choose which auto maker you want to have government assistance since everyone of them except Ford which received DOE loans not bailot money LOL, have taken big bucks from their governments.
