...limited period. With those guarantees, the company would be able to borrow from private bankers who would otherwise turn down Chrysler as an unacceptably high risk. In case of default, taxpayers would be left holding the bag, and the Government would probably have to take over Chrysler and hope to sell off its vital parts...
