Ford was lucky enough to have raised billions in private loans just prior to the 2008/09 credit crunch. That's what allowed it to get through the crisis without borrowing from TARP.
Chrysler came out of bankruptcy in 2009 largely owned by Fiat, the UAW, and the US Treasury. The Treasury unloaded all of its shares within 2 years. Today Chrysler is 100% owned by Fiat.
The details of the auto bailout were a shocking example of politically driven crony capitalism at its worst. Obama and his corrupt coterie of democrats bent the normal rules of bankruptcy in order to reward their UAW hacks and political donors at US taxpayers' expense.
Listen scammy shammy - You're an arrogant noob. The auto bailout and other topics about which you wallow in ignorance were already thoroughly discussed here long before you flew in to drop your pigeonshit all over this forum. I really don't have the patience to correct all of your factual errors (notwithstanding the above two corrections) and repetitive displays of stupidity, so stop spamming and hijacking threads with your nonsensical spewings and spoutings. You need to do everyone a favor and STFU while you go back and study up on the last 2 years of threads. Then if you're lucky we'll let you return. You can start here, noobshit:

Tampon, I asked the question first. You have to prove to me that Obama is a christian.
As for the polling, there is nothing in my response that says anything about domestic polling. You assumed and you know what that means.
What you misremembered is that it was Warren Buffet who paid a lower rate than his secretary. Of course, Buffet and Romney both have different revenue streams which are taxed at lower rates thanks to Congress.
Do you really think that socializing education is going to make it better as opposed to more available? Lets play with some numbers; Harvard (for example) has openings for 40,000 students every semester and every semester 60,000 people apply. Most of them are eliminated because they just don't have the money to pay for the tuition. You can hate it but that is the current system. Now you want to do what? Allow all 60,000 people into a school with only room for 40,000? The education will decline because the classrooms will be too crowded. So what would you do then. Take another school, call it Harvard, and put all 60,000 students in it. If you think that is a good, workable idea then why not make all schools part of the Harvard system. That way everyone can matriculate at Harvard. It just won't work.
Now I will make this suggestion, set aside 20 to 30 percent of the seats for people who have the intellect but not the money to go to Harvard (or Princeton, Yale, or KU)
What do you mean that Ford did not have to compete unfairly? Ford had to worry about the bottom line and GM could lose money and let the government make up the difference. Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn

When I said that Chrysler was "under the government's thumb" I did not say that it still owes the government money.... I meant that it is figuratively under the governments thumb, as it now has to do whatever the government says, because, like it or not, it still figuratively owes the government for saving its ass when it was going bankrupt.

Now we get it! You were just arguing “figuratively” and everyone misread and misunderstood the plain meaning of your words! Hey shammytard, do you have a mortgage on that trashy trailer home you live in? If so, I hope you read the fine print. It says even after you pay it off in full, you agree to be “permanently under the lender's thumb from now on”. Hey but don't fret – we're only talking figuratively here. You know, you would look a lot less stupid if you just admitted you were wrong in the first place, you colossally fucked-up dipshit.

Same wikipedia article states, by your definition, Deaths (12000) +wounded (38000), comes out to 50,000. Lets forget that you choose to blatantly disregard the fact that it is ALLIED deaths and not AMERICAN deaths like the grubered odumbo minion stated earlier, (WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT WE WERE ARGUING). Then consider the fact that you regard a battle that lasted closer to 12 weeks (1April- 22 June 1945) and not 10 weeks like you suggest, as a shorter amount to suit your purpose. The death count per week comes out to 4100, almost half the original amount posted by your wanker friend. You have stretched the truth so much that I think even your moms dildo might fit in there. You are digging yourself into a hole that you wont be able to climb out of, so just stop Originally Posted by shanm

I've caught you lying so many times I went back to my wikipedia link for the Battle of Okinawa and lo and behold - your numbers were nowhere to be found. Here is what I did find, you lying fucktard:
“U.S. manpower losses amounted to over 82,000 casualties, including non-battle casualties (psychiatric, injuries, illnesses) of whom over 12,500 were killed or missing.”
That's a direct quote from the wiki link under “US losses”. As for duration, the same source says “the 82-day battle lasted from early April until mid-June 1945.” So let's do the math again, scumbag. 82,000/82 days=1,000 US casualties a day=7,000 casualties a week. That was IB's original number, wasn't it? The one you and undercunt were high-fiving about being unsubstantiated? So it looks like IB if anything under-estimated the overall US Pacific casualty rate late in the war since we suffered that loss rate in the Battle of Okinawa alone.
You owe IB an apology. You are too much of a slimy jellyfish to give it, but you owe him an apology.

Firstly, you blatantly roll over the fact that you deliberately manipulated the number of days the war lasted to fit your claims. I'm wondering, who is the liar now?
Secondly, your original number was 65,000. now it magically expanded to 82,000? wow, you must be a magician.
Go back and read your own comment. Your VERY OWN comment states that casualties mean Deaths+Wounded
Now go back to the Wiki page YOU cited and look to the right:
Allies
Killed 12000
Wounded 38000
Go read the source if you don't believe it.
Now I don't know if they taught you how to count in school, but that comes out to a total of 50,000. 82 days divided by 7 comes out to 11.8~almost 12 weeks. Now divide 50k with 12 and you get-----4167. *GASP* its magical how math works isn't it?
I think the biggest apology and the only apology that is owed is by you and your wanker friend, for wasting everyone's time AND for stretching the truth to encompass whatever "fact" you randomly pull out of your ass.
And again, you won't rest and you won't stop. I stopped arguing about that topic when I realized exactly how devoid of any rationality you are and obviously I was wasting my time. But you? You will reply to this, and you will have the last word, no doubt. So you know what? go ahead, LustyLad. take it. I only feel sorry for you. Originally Posted by shanm
