China Looks to Electrify Our Cars

Are Jobs in the U.S. Just "Smoke and Mirrors' also. Hasn't this recession taught us anything. That we are all interconnected. When I lose my job and can't spend money at your place of business etc.. right on down the line. I will gladly pay a few extra bucks for an American Made product to help myself and my neighbors, will you? Or will you continue to buy your foreign goods, where most of the money goes overseas and is not spent in this Country? Wake up People! It is the only the giant global companies that continue to push for Free Trade, only because it benefits them financially. These companies that are based here in the U.S. have No Loyalty to America! Shipping our jobs to "Slave Labor" countries, and we are suppose to compete with 2 dollar a day wages?
Buy American, even if it does cost you a few extra bucks !

Texas Governor: 5k Credit for Plug-In Hybrids to Mollify 'Overzealous' EPA

Just another example of "Social Engineering" through taxation,
laws and regulation.

Problems That Detroit Bailout I Doesn't Address

The congress has exacerbated the problem with the whole process of the hearings. People are sitting back and waiting to see what is going to happen. If the idiots in Washington would have just came out a month ago and said that there was No Way they were going to let our domestic industrial base disappear as a result of the Wall street fiasco, supported the Big 3 and encouraged Americans to go out and buy cars..we may not be in the situation we are now in.
But the Republicans are so bitter about losing the election, that the few remaining Repubs want to take it out on organized labor and the regular working people, (for whom they have never done anything for). This whole idea of wanting them to go into bankruptcy is just an attempt to break the Union, and screw the retirees.

Better to Let Automakers Go Bankrupt

All the talk about not bailing out the automakers, where is it going to stop etc.. is nothing but another attack on labor and unions.
For your information, the U.A.W. has already agreed to all replacement workers wage to be reduced 50% to $14.00 per hour
and the the union is going to assume the retiree health care liability
(gm will pay into it then they are done with it) so GM's labor and legacy costs have already been addressed.
And when GM, Ford and Chrysler are paying half the wages, do you think ANY of that savings will be passed onto the consumer. The price of that vehicle wont go down a dime. All that savings will go into CEO bonuses, to the stockholders, etc...
But all you labor and union bashers will sure be happy won't you, to see us take that huge pay cut, that's all the less we will have to spend WHERE YOU WORK.
Oh, and by the way, labor unions helped create the middle class in this country, which is disappearing just as fast as the bailout money to the banks is.
