If You Do The Math,GM Would Have To Sell About 12 Million Volts To Break Even. Obama Success?

Posted on 02/03/2012 6:14:03 PM PST by The_Obama_Gerbil

Has this ever been mentioned on Cable News? Did Obama actually hand GM 50 Billion Dollars to build the Volt? And if so? How many have been sold and how many had to be recalled? The last update so far was that we have spent 250 Thousand on every Volt Sold, and didn't they all get recalled? Kinda like what happened with the Ford Pinto Blowabout? If the math is wrong,please recalculate. But it looks like another 50 Billion went down the tubes,along with Solyndra. You could of fed millions of starving Americans with 50 Billion !!!

I’ve noticed in the last year or so that all new government vehicles are gm. Police, state troopers, city, county state, all of them.

When a corporation taps the US Treasury for “investing” there are no losses and the sky is the limit.

If the MESSIAH says its a sucess it is a sucess. Do we need to send you to re-programing camp. You need to drink the Koolaid or you will be given the red pill and you will submit. Do you understand.

You can plug your Volt into the charging station in front of the health food store in Spokane. It’s worth the trip, really. They have the world’s best carrot cake.

LOL. Don’t know what they charge, SkyDancer. I’m an Altima girl :)

Sure, the carrot cake could be shipped for a price. Shall I ask? Overnight refrigerated delivery wouldn’t be more than 50x more than the cake.
