Sounds like GM will be back asking for more money for the Detroit plants...

[Da Coyote]

This is a joke, right? Oops, forgot about the quality of American management.

Never mind.

*Ping!*

[Don Corleone]

No surprise here? Quidado! Thieves at work!

[LiberConservative]

So they can build cars the UAW are not willing to build.

What happened to Obama’s “giving the corporations tax breaks if they don’t move operations overseas”? Is this how he is going to create “millions of jobs”?

[FFranco]

US taxpayers’ dollars being used for jobs in Brazil. Makes sense in a global economy, all jobs are equal.

[B4Ranch]

Jobs in America go down the tube to save jobs in Brazil, is what you are saying? Who are we bailing out?

[metmom]

Like someone else on FR proposed. Give the taxpayers money with which to buy a new car. At least we’d have a car for our money.

It gives the auto makers the income, the economy gets a boost, and the money stays in the country (more or less).

[ex-Texan]

I say 'F*** GM !" . . .

These guys just shot themselves in the b*lls. Let them all fail. Good riddance to slimy, greedy crooks. We do not need the auto industry. 'Nuff said here.

[The Anti-One]

...the funding will come from the package of financial aid that the manufacturer will receive from the U.S. government (er... Taxpayers)

ROTFLMAO

Damn. I love it when a plan comes together. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Pilated]

I will never buy any of their products the rest of my life! What traitors to this country and it’s people. Very disgusting!

[onedoug]

With RINO help.

[Dallas59]

Who the hell is the US Government and GM trying to “save”? Do they expect us to go to Brazil and work?

[kabar]

GM is an international company. It makes cars all over the world, and unlike its US operation, they are profitable. All of this bailout money is fungible. GM is an American company when it is convenient for them to be. I wonder what percentage of their American cars are actually made in the USA.

[UCFRoadWarrior]

Only the most anti-American liberal free trade globalist could like this....handing out US tax dollars to ship jobs out of America

You get double the wealth redistribution than you would have with just an ordinary bailout...tax subsidies for a business....who takes that American wealth an re-distributes again overseas

[hermgem]

Sounds to me like diversification, or go there where producing is compatible with product sales prices that consumers are willing to accept.
It's a sound practice if viewed from the standpoint of survival.
Have yet to hear from GM’s unionized employees about sacrifices to keep GM alive and healthy.
As it stands, GM’s labor costs will only prolong the eventual fall after billions of taxpayer subsidies are scorched up.

[PGR88]

They are behaving purely rationally - they are going after profits where most easily obtained

- Building factories in Brazil to sell to that growing market
- Asking money from congress by threatening massive layoffs of unionized workers. It’s a hell of a lot easier way to get cash than selling cars in the USA!
