it isn't that they paid it back. They used the money to start a new factory, including schools, and apartments,and day care centers for the Families of Employees. Do you see ford doing that here?
Then they build a factory that will build new Ford cars to ship back to the U.S. of course, with a much higher profit margin. $7.50 an hour line workers VS U.S. Salaries?
This is a good example of a Supposedly loyal patriotic American company that uses American taxpayers money to build Industry to compete against fellow Americans jobs.
Ford motor company cares nothing about American jobs. GM doesn't either. The head of design for GM is in Bejing. Fiat sucks too, they have no Interest in America, Only the Ram line.
When Daimler sold out, they conveniently kept a share of Ram Stock, knowing that was the primary profit stream to date.
Hard facts it is. Where do we go from here?
