Ford didn't take the bailout that Chrysler and GM took - that's my answer.

So can we assume you don't bank at Chase, Regions, Wells Fargo, Capital One, Iberia, Citi, or Bank of America. You probably don't use American Express card either.

You are correct, they didn't take it this time..

CEO Mulally had a “credit line” of up to $9 billion in case the economy worsened. He also lobbied for the bill because he didn't want the auto industry to collapse. Ford received $5.9 billion in government loans in 2009 to retool its manufacturing plants to produce more fuel-efficient cars, while the other 2 stood on their own. CEO Mulally also agreed to a $1 salary to "help" the cause..LOL

So at some point all big 3 have benefited from Government funding...

Buy what you like, its not like Obama was building the damn things.
