[QUOTE="brett636, post: 880153, member: 249"] So what your saying is when someone borrows from a private financial institution they are getting "bailed out"? If I buy a new car on a loan I am getting "bailed out" by the bank offering the loan? If someone buys a house with a mortgage they are getting "bailed out" as well? Your logic is flawed here just like your marxist ideology. When a private institution loans money for whatever reason they doing so on the risk that they will not be paid back. That risk is figured into the interest rates the bank charges on the money it loans. When the risk is so great that the bank expects not to be paid back they will simply not loan the money. Try financing a motorcycle with a vehicle repossession on your credit report. Chances are it won't happen. The bottom line here is that the bank, or in this case investors, expected Ford to turn around and repay them as they did. Those same investors did not have the same sentiment toward GM or Chrysler and refused to put their money at such a high risk. Those investors made a sound business decision to not invest in GM or Chrysler as the government has already lost billions in those bailouts to both companies. [/QUOTE]
