*two months later*
Tom: I dont need all of this..so I'm going to repay Tom's LOAN with money from SAM.
Essentially GM hasnt paid out any of its hard earned money at all. They havent paid out any money from their own profits, all they've done is paid off one loan from the government..with money GIVEN to it by the government.

I don't see why everyone is using 3 objects in their analogies. The government gave GM money, and GM returned the money to the government. GM is one object and the government is one object, and I was taught 1+1=2.
