The program provided a shot in the arm to automakers and moved capital through its supply chain to help regain confidence in production. I don't see how incentivizing people to bring private capital to the table to help a struggling sector is a bad thing. 

As for foreign automakers, they too have supply chains and divisions within the United States. A purchase from one of them has minimal harmful effects on our economy.

US automakers were getting their brains beat in because they were manufacturing cars at a loss just to sell cars (I think this is what you're calling "supply chain"). The program was a half assed bridge gap for their failed credit arms and did nothing constructive for the industry, as is well documented.

The leftist devotion to rewriting history is not only palpable, but frightening

When is it ever bad to get people to buy your product?

When is it ever bad to get people to buy your product?

When it takes a tax break to get someone to buy it.

Well retardamous, when you sell a product for $95 that costs $100 to make, that's bad.

[Headinjun]

It would be better to get $95 in liquid cash back with losses helping towards tax rate, then let the $100 dollar inventory rest in storage .

I heard its a good thing for multi millionaires and billionaires to buy planes, why not this?

Better than a kick in the nuts or a stick in the eye too!

I mean, if I had a choice between aids and paying someone to build something for them,  I'd choose the latter. But I'd rather do neither.

You guys, I'm not poor by any means, but would it be douchey to just fill up a bunch of tanks of gas and keep them on reserve before this whole thing collapses? I mean, I love the price of gas right now, but this thing is about to eff up the economy soon.

They tried that on an episode of Always Sunny and it didn't work out so well.

Line your trunk and backseat with aquariums. Fill with gas. Profit.

It will hurt some markets, but overall will be good for most people.  You know the main street vs. wall street thing.  Companies that don't rely on hedging fuel costs will benefit a bunch. Like seriously, it's cheaper to manufacture and transport stuff, that will eff up the economy?!!?

It will eventually hurt the US oil producers if oil prices get too low.

Arab oil producing countries undercutting shale oil because they can produce cheaper oil. Shocking! The impact on markets is a side effect. However, in the real world companies can produce things cheaper, make more money, trickle down and stuff.
