Just Wondering

I just saw one of those ads by another of the illustrious "big three" assuring me that I would be able to get one of their less-than-well-designed-and-built cars (my description, not theirs) for what they call their employee pricing rates.

Just wondering.  Why don't I get the owner pricing rates since I am now paying my hard-earned tax money to keep them in business?  It obviously matters not whether they make a profit or cover their costs, so why don't they increase sales by lowering the prices to those of us who subsidize them?

Also, is it true that Upchuck Shumer (Dem-NY), in the Senate grill room, asked the idiot CEO's what volume of sales it would take to break even, at a loss of $2,000-$3,000 a car?
