Madam Speaker, I do need to spell it out.
Last week the government quietly wrote off a $2.5-billion loan to Chrysler, paid for by taxpayers, without even recording in the public accounts who received the money.
The secrets do not end there. GM has had a loan of over $1 billion for nearly 10 years, and interest keeps adding up.
All week we have been asking about what is going on with the GM debt, and the government has been telling us about Chrysler. GM and Chrysler are not the same thing.
Who is going to pay off the GM debt, GM or taxpayers?
