at least it’s not going to american unions

that vote for leftist democrats.

[NoControllingLegalAuthority]

who can say where each billion came from?

That's a silly question concerning an insolvent corporation bailed out by the U.S. taxpayer.

IT ALL COMES FROM US!

The only part that surprises me is the location. I had thought it’d be Mexico...but then, they probably discarded that idea because they couldn’t afford to have every vehicle off the assembly line stolen.

Maybe the UAW can get Obama to do a gubmint buyout of the Big Three and force them to stay here so our tax dollars can stimulate union pockets...

[rodguy911]

Maybe we can ship some of our Mexicon workers over to brazil...

The only problem with your cartoon is the screw should be firmly embedded into the United States on the globe shown.

Gee where’s that idiot Ron Middle, er I mean Gettleflinger.

The ruskies will wait until the plant is really doing well before they nationalize it.

Actually, I think we are ALL Scr.wed

Not that I think it's OK to give GM a billion dollars in the first place. If they can't turn a profit without being subsidized, let them declare bankrupcy, break their union contracts (a large part of their problem) and let someone else buy up the pieces and parts that are viable.

The only way I'd want to give GM a billion would be to buy something from them, something painted OD green or desert tan.

It’s free money, so what the hell, might as well blow it.

Check out the vidoe of Ford's new high-tech plant in Brazil and then ask yourself why this couldn't be done in the USA.

Ford' Brazil plant

[SouthTexas]

I wonder, without the greenies and with Russia being flush with oil, if they will build muscle cars???

[citizen]

...”money is money...who can say where each billion came from?”

Puhleeze...Not when they come back for more and more taxpayer bailouts. Then we know where it comes from - printed out of thin air and charged to current and future US taxpayers.

[SECURE AMERICA]

We’re sending a Billion dollars to Brazil?

This surprises you? Did not the new Presidnet of the United States say he was a citizen of the World?

[MaryFromMichigan]

That is amazing! Thanks for the interesting link!

[DManA]

Is the object of the bailout for GM to succeed or just another phony jobs program? Would you prefer Barry appoints government bureaucrats to run the company because you disagree with the current management’s business judgement?

[KevinDavis]

One of many reasons why I opposed this bailout...

[DManA]

Divert all anger towards the true source of the B.S. - the US Congress.

For giving these companies taxpayer dollars which is both insane and immoral.

and most importantly,

For creating a tax and regulatory environment that practically guarantees companies will invest outside these shores.

Russia is probably where all the Hummer stuff went. To supply the vast and expanding Russian mob. Perfect mobster car.
