    They didn’t confirm that Ford didn’t receive a bailout just that Ford didn’t participate in TARP. Ford took a $7B government loan in 2009 and didn’t even finish repaying it until last year. GM took their $8B bailout in 2009 and repaid it all in 2010.

    I love all the high-horse “downvoting, mob-mentality, poor reading comprehension” comments in this thread when none of these people bothered to do more than read a single comment and click one link before assuming they had a full understanding of the facts.
