In addition to Ford,

"Nissan was receiving $1.6 billion to retool their plant in Smyrna, Tenn., to build advanced vehicles and build a battery manufacturing facility. Tesla was receiving $465 million in loans to build electric vehicles and electric drive powertrains in California."

In case you forget, Nissan is a Japanese company. Who's next at the trough? Koreans? Chinese? Germans?
