The government is investing in a future technology. Progress is being sponsored right before your eyes
Do you think this is an appropriate role that the Framers envisioned for the federal government? Picking and choosing certain companies/technologies to get behind, at the exclusion of others? Providing very large loans without taking an equity stake? Is this really an appropriate use of the public debt?

It sounds to me more like politics as usual....

The US government is here for the benefit of it's people. They make hard choices. IE, civil war, WW I&II, etc were all unpopular by the people, yet can you say the world isn't better off without these wars.

The bottom line is, this is the right choice, EVs are the future. I'm just sad they spent Billions on GM/Chyser as opposed to Tesla's measly 500 million.

You guys are terrible at analogies. The last guy likened Tesla to the transcontinental railroad. You are drawing a comparison to our involvement in WWII? LOL.
