Look, there's a place and a market for the volt. However, I resent my tax dollars going towards a bail out for the company or towards off-setting the price for the buyers.

I don't like it either but remember that the Volt was started before the bailout. It was also started before Obama was elected. It was started before he was elected Senator from Illinois.

This nasty recession was started by government policies. GM was making the painful steps to be competitive before it got clobbered by this recession. If not for this recession, it would not have needed the bailout. Also many government policies have helped to make GM not as competitive as possible. And NEVER forget that every automaker in the world gets some government subsidy in some form. This is particularly true for the Japanese Manufacturers.
