Government Motors and the Volt have cost taxpayers dearly and now our military under Obama will be paying twice for EVs as they would for comparable gas powered vehicles and will have to spend millions for charging stations.

I have been saying for months that I believe that a large percentage of Volt sales (such as they were) were by the government, and that they are probably sitting, rusting on some missile range in Nevada. Well, here we go.

Just drop them as unguided weapons on our enemies and let them go broke trying to building charging stations.

They should use them to test catapults.

So, will GM charge US $89,000 each or will they give us a deal and charge us $40,000 which is $49,000 under invoice?

They could fire them off the catapults on aircraft carriers, but I’m sure that submerging a Volt in navigable waterways breaks about 100 EPA regulations.

Gutting our defense budget $800B but buying 1500 Dolts?

What is worse is Boehner isn’t opening his mouth.

Please forward to Rush and to Boehner.

Mount a Ma Duce (50 Cal Machine Gun) on the roof and when it runs out of power use the 50’s recoil to make it to the next charging station. This can also double as a clandestine ground attack vehicle as it will make very little noise during movement to contact. //sarcasm off of course//

They could by a couple of F22's for that.

Which is about a week’s worth of production. So this waste of tax payers dollars keeps the plant running for an extra week.

What has happened to our military? This is sick. Next thing they will do is eliminate lead and DU in our ammo so we don’t hurt the environment. Meanwhile we have lesbian generals and Muslims throughout the ranks.

Whatever happened to the mission of killing and breaking things?

reporters allocated product development costs across the number of Volts sold instead of allocating across the lifetime volume of the program.

I think the lifetime volume of the program has already been reached. No fair counting government purchases to make it look good.
