Yes, you didn't like that we bailed out GM and Chrysler. Yes, they still owe us money because they paid back their cash loans but we still own stock. The companies are making profit again.

Which is more likely: that we will eventually be able to sell the stock and get most if not all of our money back, or not?

And by the way: the auto unions gave up massive pension payments, bennies and salaries in the renegotiations when the companies were bailed out of bankruptcy. You need to be fair and acknowledge that the unions helped greatly in keeping those companies alive. They gave up tons to keep their jobs in existence.
