This will be a feather in The Donald's cap.... he will make hay over this one and the American people will be on his side, party affiliation won't mean squat, this is jobs and liberals and conservatives both eat...
Guess I gotta buy a Dodge.... Can't buy a GMC (Government Motors Corp) and now Ford does this.... Wife doesn't like foreign named cars.... ya ya I know....LOL oh well...
That's where you are wrong. Dodge parts been made in Mexico for years. GM has paid back their loans. Only ford hasn't. My 2016 Chevy Silverado was built in fort. Wayne Indiana. Why we are at it the most American made car is the Toyota Camery with union jobs. I work for a class 1 railroad. Wheel reports don't lie.Quote:

"But I don’t think we should exaggerate it too much, when we remember where — the source of this money is just other TARP money."
The president’s and GM’s statements may have given some the false impression that taxpayers have gotten back all the bailout money loaned to or invested in GM. Strictly speaking, Obama was accurate when he said: "GM announced that it paid back its loans to taxpayers with interest, fully five years ahead of schedule." But he alluded only vaguely to other bailout money, which taxpayers may never get back, adding: "It won’t be too long before the stock the Treasury is holding in GM can be sold, helping to reimburse the American people for their investment." Those statements might have confused anyone who wasn’t familiar with the details of GM’s stock-and-loan debt to the Treasury.
As for Treasury’s equity stake, worth $40 billion-plus, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office has said the Treasury won’t fully recoup that money. The total automaker bailout, including TARP money given to Chrysler, CBO estimates, will cost taxpayers about $34 billion
Jap vehicles ac stinks
I won't argue that point, I have a Nissan Altima and the air works when it wants to, not when I want it to...LOL But to be fair, I have 200K on it, out side of that issue its been a good car... I just can't own a foreign made truck...Quote:
