Some idiot at CNN called the huge billion dollar car maker bailout loss for U.S. taxpayers “Excellent!”.
He justifies his statement by saying it’s better than the originally projected loss of $40 billion. What this idiot doesn’t seem to realize is that most taxpayers were against the bailouts, because they knew they would lose.
In total, between Chrysler and GM, the U.S. taxpayers lost $14 billion dollars in the auto maker bailout joke. But this guy at CNN thinks it’s great, calling it “…a mere $14 billion”.
The idiot goes on to claim that the U.S. government (taxpayers) would have lost huge tax revenues if Chrysler and GM went out of business. Hello, most of their sales are now outside the U.S., which means they’re not paying U.S. taxes on those sales.
