Comment on What if Obama gave Y Combinator 40 Billion Dollarsparent

Comments

Completely agree with you.

I think it is fair to see the 40B as simply saving the 60K or so jobs and little more. If a natural disaster took 60K lives, I do not think it will cause a prolonged national economic depression.

Likewise, I do not think adding 60K employed consumers will go a long way in fixing the current economic crisis.

Of course, saying that the 40B will "save" the jobs is in itself a big assumption. There is every chance that GM will run out of 40B and still shut down.
