"Even if Congress approves a bailout, the proposed legislation would require companies that take federal dollars to forgo using the money to pay dividends to investors. Ford Motor Co. suspended its dividend payments two years ago, but restoring them is a priority for many members of the Ford family who had come to rely on dividends for income. That may be why Ford has suggested that it would hold off on taking any federal aid until the automaker really needs it." |
