The True Costs of the Auto Bailouts
August 10, 2012
Fox Business News
FBN’s Lou Dobbs on the costs of the auto bailouts for American taxpayers.
P.S. I just watched the video again, and here are some its highlights:
GM: The overwhelmingly white tax base paid $51 billion, which averaged out to $560,000 per job, for the 91,000 jobs that we paid to save. GM stock would have to reach $52 per share, in order for the American net taxpayer to break even. At present, GM’s stock price is $20 per share; thus, the American tax base has lost $16 billion on the deal.
Chrysler: The overwhelmingly white tax base paid $12 billion, an average of $262,000 per job, to save 47,000 jobs.
Renewable energy projects in Nevada—Sen. Minority Leader Dirty Harry Reid’s state: Cost the overwhelmingly white American tax base $1.3 billion, in order to create 288 jobs, at a price tag of $4.6 million per job.
