How different it might have been had the feds not bailed Chrysler out
of bankruptcy in the 1980's (or was it the '70s) ??

Having 
paid 36 billion for Chrysler and then selling it for only  7.5 billion is bad

most went back to the new Chrysler Co..
 
WHEEE!
 
No wonder Mercedes has been squeezing the nickel!
