We will NEVER see GM or the Unions pay us back.

It doesn’t matter, the fact is the Chrysler bailout set the precedent that the government was now expected to save companies, and decide the winners and losers in the marketplace.

The mechanism for "bailing-out" was a loan guarantee.

Chrysler paid back the banks without the government (i.e., taxpayers) ever having to pony up a penny.
