This is a great example of why Government has no business owning stock in a company its supposed to regulate.
So anyone who has bought a GM vehicle recently received a wonderful letter informing you that they have paid ALL of the government loans back, plus interest!! 5 years early!! You may also have seen the huge tv commercial campaign to inform the public of there wonderful trustworthy nature.
Now for those pesky facts... what we are not being told is that to pay back the government loan, GM has borrowed on its TARP line of credit. So they borrowed $4.7 billion dollars from the government, to pay the government $4.7 billion so they can run these wonderful commercials telling America how great of a company they are. Has our country become a land of complete idiots? Does no one question authority anymore?
The most alarming part is that our news media has become completely silent. Truth, independence, and investigative journalism no longer exist in what is supposed to be a "free" media. And where is government regulation? Truth in advertising? Does it seem odd that the people who are supposed to regulate the company are one of the primary stock holders?
