Also daimler chrysler was a thing like 15 years ago; chrysler was kind of taken over by the fiat group and that whole group was kind of taken over by the french PSA group (along with a GM brands like opel and vauxhall) bankrupt bankrup everywhere in the us automotive industry! hopefully french management will save you as we always do.
You are rather myopic, betiko; bailouts and financial aid are not one way:
"Tens of billions of dollars (from taxpayer-funded bailouts) ... flowed straight through AIG into the coffers of foreign corporations and foreign banks."

Amid all the furor over retention bonus payments to AIG employees, Rep. Mike Pence of Indiana, chair of the House Republican caucus, said another outrage in the AIG bailout saga isn't getting enough attention.
"And the other unreported story today is tens of billions of dollars that flowed straight through AIG into the coffers of foreign corporations and foreign banks," Pence said in an interview on MSNBC on March 17. "You know, the American people are frustrated with this."
To date, American taxpayers are $170 billion into AIG bailout as part of an effort to save the global insurance conglomerate from a collapse that many fear would have a catastrophic effect on the U.S. and global economies. But for months, AIG refused to say where that bailout money was going. Under mounting pressure from Congress, on March 15 AIG finally released the names of financial institutions that benefited from the rescue money.
Although U.S. firms like Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and Bank of America got the lion's share of payouts, the list also included a number of big foreign banks: Société Générale of France and Deutsche Bank of Germany, which each received nearly $12 billion; Barclays of Britain, $8.5 billion; and UBS of Switzerland, $5 billion. In all, corporations in France and Germany got nearly $36 billion; and all foreign companies got nearly $60 billion.
So Pence is right, tens of billions of U.S. taxpayers dollars certainly flowed to foreign corporations and banks.
