Wasn't necessarily saying it was or wasn't. So tell us what you think those limits are. Someone implied the governments job was defense.

I think regardless the government was funding the bankruptcy. There was no bank that had it to lend at that time. And I understand everyone's issues. But since we can never prove what would have happened if GM went through s normal bankruptcy it's easy to argue against what did happen.
