You keep making my point, and agreeing with me, and then,
you say that, I've got it wrong?!?
Ford didn't need government assistance, and opted to not get it when it was offered.
My other point still stands, and can't be disputed, that, when government gets involved in the running of a business, nothing good will come of it. Of the many "green energy" companies that big government, aka: Obama, assisted, 50 of them have been utter failures. GM and Chrysler are not going to recover from the basket cases which they've become, since, the same people that turned them into failures, are still running them, namely, the unions, through government forced restructuring.
