Soon the Buick's will be here, only to be made in China. Little glitch that GM through in the picture late. Think of it thins way, Bush borrowed the 1.6 trillion dollars from mainly China. GM gets a bailout from" we the people" to restructure and create a better fuel efficient car. GM decides to unveil the PUMA( two person electric wheelchair). My God, they are geniuses... So maybe not. And of course, GM decides to file bankruptcy after all and buy Chinese made cars( well it is easier on us poor American with no work because of GM). But GM spends the 15 billion dollars to buy from China whom origanally gave us the bailout money in the first place. We might as well become Chinese. People face it, these are hard times.

You screwed the american worker, and we take no pity on you now. Did you think we'd forget. Tell the new guy to go ask the other governments where your parts are produced and then shipped to the US for some help. You aren't getting anymore of my tax dollars. Your greed lead you to this day. Thank you for the opportunity to screw you back!

As are the posts from people eager to see a company fail (whether it be Tesla, Fisker, EEStor, or GM, etc., it's all been said here on this site). Everyone seems to hate unions because they get "too many benefits." Too many benefits?!? This tells me that the big corporations and the rich have already won. We're each so busy trying to get ahead of the other guy for the short run no matter the cost or long term outcome. We're focused on getting over the next guy, back stabbing, back biting, conniving, scheming, lying to get ahead. As long as we get ahead (or think that we might), no problem. In the end we all lose. Guess who wins when the middle class and the poor are too busy fighting amongst themselves to notice the goings on at the top? The wealthy have enjoyed the last 20 years of un-earned super profits and rise in their incomes. Meanwhile the rest of us have been working harder, longer hours and for what? Our incomes have been either flat or have gone down (adjusted for inflation) over the past 20 years. Look at Bernie Madoff's riches and his lifestyle worth billions. Look at Aaron Spelling's 150 million dollar home (one of many I am sure). Look at the wall street fat cats griping about maybe having to pay for some poor schmuck's mortgage, meanwhile they own a fabulous vacation home in the Hamptons. Why don't you find out how the bosses at your company live? How much does their house cost, where do they go on vacation each year? You are paying for their lavish lifestyles with the sweat of your back and when you get injured or burnt out and can't keep up the murderous pace they set for all the drones YOU ARE OUT! They are still rich, rich, RICH! What has allowed all this? The type of person who writes these posts I describe above is directly involved and the rest of us who do nothing to change the rotten system are too. It's time for us to change. Work together for OUR common cause and stop being a tool for the rich and powerful. Stop letting them pull your strings. We are unstoppable if we act together, in our own common interests. United we stand - divided we FALL. Reading all the union bashing posts on this site is a real eye opener.

Today’s incentives including tax credit for the electric cars and hybrids look more like money wasting and short sighted measures.
