AGD, I completely agree with you on every point you just made!
[edit] gregtummer... first of all we can be sure Peugeot didn't use or need 3 billion dollars, that's just an insane amount of money, and either the marginal benefit of it above the budget already in place would decline very rapidly, making it a big waste of money, or the car would've run laps in the 2 minutes zone.
Secondly, if the French government gave a loan like this I'm sure it'd be in the books somewhere and it would've been published about, especially since the money wouldn't be paid back and it would therefore be a gift (see next point)
Thirdly, I'm pretty sure borrowing money to go racing does not a sound business case make, since the only way of recouping it is by selling more road cars, and a Le Mans win isn't worth 3 billion in road car sales
