Low Cost Loan:
The Rich Get Richer

Jan 20, 2025

Ford Motor Company was just approved for a low-cost government loan to build battery plants in Tennessee and Kentucky. The loan was for 9.6 billion dollars, which was even more than Ford initially asked for. And this is despite the fact that Ford is delaying the building of the second battery plant in Kentucky. It looks like the government is just giving money to Ford.

If a working person like us needs money to pay our bills, do you think we can get a low-cost loan??? Fat chance of that!!!

There is something wrong with a system in which the wealthy people who have money can get more than they need, and the working person who needs something can’t get a dime. That’s called capitalism.
