Forbes: GM Still Government Motors

Despite that big advertising campaign suggesting that GM "paid back" all of its government funds, it isn't true, as Forbes explains.

True, they paid back a $6.7 billion loan out of the nearly $50 billion given to it by the government, but even that was out of a $13 billion escrow account to make sure the company survived the massive downturn in business.

Make no mistake - the company in essence has not paid anything back.
