The U.S. media is talking about Chrysler’s announcement that it plans to pay off the U.S. and Canadian government loans.  It is not a sign of a good economy, because the loans are not being paid off with profits.

Chrysler’s pay off is coming as a result of more loans.  The Auto maker has decided that it does not want to keep paying the high interest rate of the government bailout loans, so it has refinanced through private banks.  In other words Chrysler is still in trouble.
