Obama Motors exporting more US jobs...

My Way News - Chinese imports could bring GM political troubles

Quote:
DETROIT (AP) - As thousands of General Motors workers await word on more U.S. plant closures, reports that the company plans to import Chinese-made vehicles to the U.S. have created a political problem for the automaker and the White House.

The reports, which GM will neither confirm nor deny, could mean trouble because GM is supported by $15.4 billion in U.S. government loans, largely due to the Obama administration's desire to preserve the company's 90,000 U.S. jobs.

The United Auto Workers charged last week that the Detroit automaker intends to almost double over the next five years the number of vehicles it imports to the U.S. from Mexico, South Korea, China and Japan.

"GM should not be taking taxpayers' money simply to finance the outsourcing of jobs to other countries," Alan Reuther, the union's Washington lobbyist, wrote in a letter to U.S. lawmakers.
How can he do this and get away with it?

Fed support should never have existed.
$15,000,000,000,000 was borrowed so GM could continue to pay employees so they could pay union dues so the unions could bribe the president and members of congress

We should go look at how Chavez solved the issue.. it's what we'll do..

If he upped imports of Chinese made vehicles, you can bet your ass we;ll do the SAME thing.
