Expert opinion wanted:

How much would the added nitrogen oxides put into the air by these Volkswagen diesels really affect people in cities? In rural areas this is obviously a big fat nothing

[ConservativeMind]

Does the money ultimately flow to “Friends of the Earth” or “Planned Parenthood?” Every other fine from this administration seems to have found its way to “0bama-friendly” groups.

I despise this man, greatly. I also despise this Congress, that could stop him, but lets him rape and plunder this country and its businesses for personal gain.

Ouch!!

Wanna-be Fuhrer-chen Angela’s biggest tax cow just took it up the ass.

Due to the same Envirophantasmagoria infecting the EU.

Ouch!!

Can I get me a cheap diesel here?

Part of the settlement goes to La Raza, Planned Parenthood, SEIU, AFL-CIO, The LGBT Alliance, BLM, and ACORN.

This is the real scam.

That’s it?

Totally survivable

I haven't read the article .. and won't until tomorrow, but I'm guessing ...

VW made vehicles that were stated as X emissions compliant, and no consumer actually knew, nor probably cared ...

but

Some gov't piece of paper said VW was lying, and according to the paper they were ... so the consumers who probably liked their cars and didn't know and probably didn't care are now faced with get money or repairs that really aren't necessary .... except for a gov't piece of paper

Am I close ?

Yet GM can kill people with their ignition switches.

Guess VW should have let the UAW in. /s
