Here's lefty criticism on a turkey...
If you believe the woman in the video, then stop reading this. Some further detail on this turkey car is located here 2011 Chevy Volt: Our Savior or a Joke? and The Chevy Volt is a Joke
So if I were to but an electric car for around $40K that gets a lousy 40 miles on it’s charge, after the 40 mile charge is up the internal combustion engine kicks in which requires premium (AKA most expensive) fuel to operate at peak MPG efficiency?
In addition, to offset the high price there is a $7,500 tax credit included. That is still roughly $10-12K above the cost of existing hybrids.
It doesn’t make sense. But factor in this:
-How much of the increased cost goes to supporting the UAW contractual obligations? Since GM didn't file for bankruptcy and got bailed out, aren't they still bound to the same loser UAW contracts that's been sucking them dry for decades?
-Being from a failing company propped up by Obama’s UAW (I mean GM) bailout.
-GM’s CEO being appointed by Obama.
-GM seems like it's going to lose money instead of make money in selling Volts, all while being subsidized.
Now it kind of makes sense. This is the result of what we get if you put a community organizer in charge of managing a business. It's more government pushing their green tech agenda rather than building a successful competitor in the market. Overall, it is done very inefficiently and costly to the consumer.
This is just another example of a Obama getting voted into office based on hype. When results are expected, all we get is a bunch of bull sh*t, as expressed by the woman in the video. If you criticize inefficient government at work, you are un-American. Of course jobs were saved due to the UAW bailout, but it makes for an even more inefficient money pit because government is involved. Government does not produce, it consumes.
