The third GMAC bailout: While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Timothy F. Geithner, secretary of the treasury, announces that General Motors Acceptance Corporation will be receiving another 3,800,000,000,000 “dollars” in Federal loan guarantees.  This brings to 16,000,000,000 “dollars” to total of government aid that GMAC has received.
