To the OP, not only are you not going to get your money back, you're gonna keep paying. Why? Well, the government is running a deficit, remember? So, that $10 billion loss (which is really about $17 million when you include the debt service on the $50 billion investment over 5 years) is going to cost you another $400 million per year. Increasing because the interest compounds annually. Forever. Maybe we could at least get a coupon for a Camaro or something.
