FOX has these perspectives on what the announcement means for American taxpayers.
“…taxpayers have had enough, at some point you just have to say look we want you to succeed but not on the backs of taxpayers across the country.” “I think some tax payers are rooting for a chapter 11 filing, not because they see it as a failure. They don’t see it as a failure. They see what happened already as a failure. They see this as a meaningful way out for Chrysler.” (
