The GM bailout wasn't a subsidy, which is a continuously operating cost break awarded to some private enterprise, it is simply a bailout. The purpose of the auto bailout was to save over a million jobs along with an imperiled industry, and it has been mostly repaid to the government, while the million saved jobs have added tremendously to federal revenues, shared by all of us.

So this wasn't another tax break for billionaires, this was saving an industry and a million living wage jobs.
