Not saying at once, they had plans to pay it off over time -- why not keep those plans in place? That's like saying I don't have to pay off my house or car loan because they've been transferred to other banks now. Wish I didn't have to.. I wasn't disagreeing with them bailing them out, I just think since the company has "recovered" (they did say they are in the green/black, whatever you want to call it), that they should now start paying back what they took.
With the Fiat majority takeover of Chrysler, U.S. Treasury said we will probably not get our $1.3b back (let alone interest). So there's 1 loan out of the $16t loans that never came back. Which is sort of sad, we should be collecting on that money regardless. Bailout loans aren't grants.

We are in July last I checked.. unless there was a time shift recently that I'm unaware of?

That makes a lot more sense. Thanks for the link and explanation.

You could always band several of these together with a networked hdd or "hub" computer to make quite a powerful machine for relatively cheap.
