Thanks, Win. I remembered it was fairly complex, highlighted by the Ford headline. But it's important to note, in the context of this discussion, that, at least on the basis of this bit of info, the Fed did not provide money. Only loan guarantees.

I only wish $2.5 Billion would count as significant in today's crisis, and not as a mere 15% of Wall Street's bonus budget for the year rewarding all the fat cats for the excellent job they did running the economy into the ground.


What cost $2,500,000,000 in 1975 would cost $9,535,217,164.49 in 2007.
