    When you take into account inflation and the overall market gains over that time, they absolutely did not make their money back.

      When you take into account that the original assertion was tht eighty billion was given to the auto manufacturers, I don’t think my comment deserves the reaction it got, not a reply like yours.

      Would you rather they ended up with zero dollars?

        Yes.

        The only terms under which I could potential accept tax money being used to save a company from a collapse leading to massive layoffs, is if the resulting company is also made entirely employee owned.
