As the U.S. government winds down its stake in General Motors, which it bought in 2009 amidst the height of the financial crisis, a new report from the Treasury Department says that the deal has overall been a $9.7 billion loss, according to Reuters. In 2009, the government gave the struggling car company $49.5 billion in exchange for $2 billion in preferred stock and about 60 percent equity.
