You basically said companies shouldn’t take advantage of the opportunities before them. That’s in opposition to the idea of a free market.
I didn’t basically say that and you are cracked nOOb.
No one and no company has right to taxpayer money except as a service or selling a product to the government.
EDS would be a good example of service to the government for which they should be paid.
So is Halliburton who has been a logistics company for the US Government since The Civil War.
What TARP was about ain’t nothing like free market. For instance:
GM- We ain’t ever going to get our money back and GM may have only bought themselves a lifeline. That stupid Volt car is nothing more than a lawnmower and they were counting on selling 10,000 units this year and next to repay a $500 million dollar loan. Well, they have thus far sold a mere 300 and that trend isn’t going to get them anywhere near where they need to be to repay that loan.
So all totaled we will lose about $42.5 billion as GM won’t be able to raise enough cash through stock or sales.
