In the meantime, kudos to Chrysler. Kudos to Fiat. They managed to extract billions of dollars in exchange for a vague promise to do something politically yummy in the present “money is no object” climate. This should, however, make it sort of obvious that not only is the present administration easily characterized as a bunch of looting central planners, but also, given how easily Chrysler played them, that they absolutely suck at central planning.
