B-Oil receives these subsidies too. The only difference is one is established and rakes in multi billions while the other is not

Can I please get the source for your earlier numbers?
I think government should provide subsidies for moving forward-whatever that entails

Well, it's clear Volt attackers easily see this as political with all the references to "Obamacar." The opposition to the car is more about opposition to Obama than anything else.

If the number of car sales is so critical, then would you say Lamborghini is an unsuccessful, unprofitable company?

Its opposition to govt control of GM. As I said before, if taxpayers werent subsidizing GM, no one would care if they were losing money.

You should have stopped before the obvious Obama reference. You just revealed a political bias/lean.



Hammering and underlining on the $1.2 billion point only works as the travesty you desire if the technology developed is only used in one car ever (which will not happen), and they stopped making Volts now, which you are encouraging them to do.

Yeah, and how do you like subsidizing them with your tax dollars, that is if you pay federal income taxes. Because I don't, we're 16 trillion in debt and counting and why are we subsidizing wind and solar and cars, when we have a thousand yrs of natural gas, coal, and oil.

What good is a thousand years, if crops die in extreme weather caused by global warming... caused by fossil fuels.

The coming winter will be the longest and hardest on record.
 
Those of us who actaully work for a living will possibly see a tax deduction on your check stub for "GM"... Because since the Obama Government has used our money to buy this failing car maker, it's a Government tax on you and I now.

You all can thank Resident Slick Barry Obama for your newly added tax deduction to your check and I truly hope the deduction is so outrageous that people finally wake up to this fraudulent clown.
