I hear Fiat has decided not to follow the messiah's demand to make small unwanted cars. Instead they have built vehicles that Americans want { Dodge trucks & Jeeps } thus making such a huge profit that Fiat in Europe will be able to survive, they had been going under until bhos gave them Chrysler for no money down.

The goverment loan GM 49 billion. they have already collected 36 billion and continue to hold a 19% stake in GM. Today, the stock is at 27 bucks and rising. The goverment will sell shares over a period of 1 to 2 years as the stock price increases bringing in more revenue.

If the goverment sells ALL of its shares today, it would lose 12 billion, however, selling the stock over the next 24 months as the shares rise will reduce the goverment loss to under 10 billion.

The important thing is if the stock rises.
Should it stay flat or even decline , then selling the taxpayers shares would be a very foolish idea. It's not like the gov't can claim a negative capital gains on their tax returns.

US Treasury, UAW health cares trust to sell 50 million shares of GM Stock

At current trading prices, Treasury would lose around $10 billion on its GM bailout


Notice that this was buried in the 10th paragraph of of this article.

But, remember, we were promised GM would pay back all of its government loans.

In fact, we have been told for years, and especially during the last campaign, that
GM had already paid off all of their loans.

Still, what’s a $10 billion dollar lie among friends?

Never understood why Obama gets all the credit for "saving" GM when he wasn't alone in giving the process time to happen. We should give credit where credit is due!

Most likely the credit comes by an example "documented statement" below:

"General Motors relaunched itself as a public company, cutting the government’s stake
in the company by nearly half.

What’s more, American taxpayers are now positioned to recover more than
"my" administration invested
in GM." 10 Billion loss by the way, so much for "more than"

More Chevy Volt failure. Looks like GM has a 140 day supply of this piece of junk in inventory.

GM could have gotten out of debt sooner if the profitable dealerships that supported the GOP had not been forced to close , while keeping the lesser ones which supported the DNC open .

Right, cause you would have preferred to have a million people out of work and your taxes increased to pay for them while they sat on unemployment.
