Loans vs. Equity: Only about $6.7 billion of the $50 billion bailout from Obama administration was structured as loans, which GM repaid with interest.
Equity Stake: The rest was converted into government ownership of GM stock (about 61% at one point).
Outcome: When the U.S. Treasury later sold its GM shares, taxpayers lost about $11.2 billion overall.

Trump doesn't bailout the midwest farmers, they go out of business, and remember which Party refused to help in the next election.

True.
Capitalism also doesn't work when interest rates don't reflect the real market for money, but just some corrupt central planner's whim. The Fed needs to be abolished and interest rates set only by supply and demand.
Capitalism doesn’t work if failure is bailed out.

Yeah they are like a spring that is fully compressed and ready to be released. Its going to be scorched Earth using Democrat operatives in DOJ and FBI, returning to Birdbrain Biden giveaways like student loan forgiveness, over-regulation like even more extreme CAFE standards, etc.

Today Trump does some stupid tariff stuff, big AG cries that China won’t buy their soybeans. Trump gives them 12B bailout. Republican conservatism is dead. I’m frustrated. We aren’t fixing a damn thing, just swapping who robs us and bails out their bffs. This isn’t right. This isn’t winning.
