I guess I should have taken finance in School instead of engineering and programming.

But please > Can someone explain to me how spending BILLIONS in bailout money for Chrysler (and GM) resulted in Fiat buying Chrysler? WOW - To me it seems like we ( tax payers ) have just spent Billions to support foreign companies like Fiat and are throwing away BILLIONs of $s at a rapid rapid rate. In my mind - we just gave this money to Italy! To make matters worst I'm not sure most people think Fiat can be Chrysler's salvation ( at least I don't ) when its not clear they can build a car American want!

The AIG Billions went to foreign companies and now the car companies BILLIONS - they sure have a great Lobby!

Does anyone else think we are giving away America BILLIONS and BILLIONS and BILLIONS of $s at a rapid rate or is it I just don't understand the big picture and its only me?

Oh well for what its worth I said my 2 cents.
