"Ford and Chevies are good products."

If enough car buyers agreed with you, then Ford and Chevy would not need government money. And if banks believed more people felt like you, then Ford and GM would be able to secure loans from private sources rather than from the U.S. taxpayer. If I liked GM's chances as a company, I would buy their stock. I really don't like the idea that rather than engage in legitimate public services, the federal government is going to use my tax money (and yours) to make a speculative investment in a private firm that I consider fundamentally unsound.
