What the government did was actually keep ford from getting bigger by keeping GM and Chrysler afloat.

Then I guess the government saved Ford from it's own potential?

The bailout did help Ford. GM, Ford, and Chrysler use common parts suppliers. If GM and Chrysler go under, those parts suppliers go under and Ford is without parts suppliers and also goes under.

Wrong. Other companies would have stepped in bought those companies for a song and dance and the machine would have kept on rolling. Ford would have probably found financing somewhere to make some of the those discounted purchases themselves.

Between Reid and Pelosi, I get a lot of laughs.

That's quite a stretch, even for you, jup. Great stuff, though. I love a good joke!
