Think you are being helped by all the 'bailouts'? Think again.

"As part of the company’s bankruptcy filing, Chrysler LLC will not repay US taxpayers more than $7 billion it received as part of the company’s bailout earlier this year. Instead, the US will get an 8% ownership in a firm whose value continues to deteriorate by the day."

Yeah, if that printing press ever breaks, we will see this so-called 'economy' stop completely.

Payback for campaign contributions, using taxpayer money.. Wow, what a scam, especially if the unions end up with ownership.

He will claim.....O.....I take full responsibility. Because that does a lot. He will then say it's Bush's fault. Then write another check.

Chrysler was taken over by the one company in the world who makes less reliable cars than they do, and now we own 8 % of that stinking pig - God help us.

You thought they would pay it back?

Cerebrus now gets to dump a unprofitable company at minimal loss to them. They don't care that our grandkids are going to be stuck with the bill; that was the plan all along.

Obama will do well to buy billions of GM fleet vehicles - not Chrysler-Fiat fiascos.
