As opposed to letting the UAW be treated as any other creditor in a bankruptcy and not getting $ 23B is taxpayer bailout. BTW that $ 23B is the gov't estimate on the taxpayers' backs after all is said and done. An GM still has higher labor costs than it's competitors.

As oppose to what? Getting the government out of regulating the internet whose development they bankrolled and was founded on social ownership and cooperative management principles? We should let companies discriminately toll the internet? Are we to pay ISPs for our internet service and for individual websites that are successful at attracting consumers.

Initial development of internet, yes. Expansion to citizens was done by private investments. You don't find "social ownership and cooperative management" by the Fed disturbing. I'm not up for a China-like internet, thank you.
