It would be silly to expect investors to not recieve compensation. This goes back to removing wealth from one group of individuals and redistributing it to another. Bad for the economy and bad for individual rights.

Ford did the right thing regardless of personal reasons. However, if the government offered to give you a million dollars would you take it? Maybe, but what if they then said that THEY would tell you how YOU would spend the million, and that you had to pay it back before you reaped any benefit.

Seemed silly to me.

 

Agreed. And, the billions they poured into the banking industry didn't stop AIG and the rest from handing out millions in bonuses and having lavish parties and resort getaways.
