Plant that got $150M in taxpayer money to make Volt batteries furloughs workers

[paulitician]

Didn't even produce a single battery. My God, cronyism at its worst. They should arrest someone.

Well there is a $150M silver lining. At least the batteries won't burst into flame now, burning up otherwise perfectly good GM golf carts.

Remain calm, dupes- just typical business in the post Booosh depression, ongoing mindless Pub obstruction economy. At least now we're competing with the EU and China in the industry of the future. Have a conniption over every small setback, fear mongered un-American twits. The recovery continues, slower without your help.

And in this post you show succinctly and decisively how your opinion is worthless and entirely biased.
This is not "business as usual" under Boosh or anyother President. Not one damn company anywhere other than communist states can a business exist that has never made a product. Not one.
How is it "business as usual" for a company to be given $150 million in taxpayer windfall - and two years later having not made ONE SINGLE PRODUCT - STILL BE IN BUSINESS???

the only competitiveness I see is this battery maker trying to beat Europe into the toilet. Looks like they have a good head start. Europeans are politically stupid, but they at least produce something, even if their population doesn't want it.
