The Affirmative Action Government broke 200 years of contract law , when they stole billions from the GM bond holders and then gave it to the unions , which are at the very heart of their problem , Then as a further kick in the ass shut down dealerships that contributed to conservatives , The Dodge Cummins diesel is a great engine and running big mileage is common to them .

The first sentence is a total lie. The second is not.

Here you go Cat...

Looks like all my next trucks will be a Ford, made in America. Yes, other cars are made in America but the bottom line on their profit and loss statements ends up in Japan, Korea, Germany, Sweden, etc. etc....and before you mention it..yes I own a 11 2500 GMC and 12 Cummins HO dually..along with my 2 11 F250 and F350.. Americans just can't figure out why the country is losing jobs and the economy is going in the toilet. It doesn't take a genius to see where the problem exists.
The constant drain on our resources is why we have 14 trillion dollar debt, soon to be 16 trillion. Socialism here we come.



Subject: Fwd: GM = China Motors - A Must-See Video


This should tick you off!!!


MEANWHILE THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN HAS ADS RUNNING SHOWING "THE ONE" BRAGGING ABOUT SAVING GENERAL MOTORS (with American taxpayer dollars) AND THUS THE ENTIRE U.S. AUTO INDUSTRY...AND THE PUBLIC SOAKS IT IN....WORSE YET, HIS MEDIA ALLIES NEVER MENTION WHAT YOU WILL SEE IN THIS VIDEO.


This video is really hard to accept, but here it is. This is just one reason why we have no jobs in America and how billions and billions of taxpayer dollars have been pissed away.

Please watch and send to everyone in your mailing list.

I got this email today with the link to that video. Don't know the guy who did this story as to what kind of a character he is but this has a lot of presumption in it. Sounds like typical slanted journalism so popular on the main stream media agenda drum beats. There are some ideas that deem awareness but some of it is stretched badly.

I'm all for American but the bigger problem is in Washington.

GM has been designing and producing cars in China for years, it's their largest market. Most stay there, when he said 70% are made outside of the US it's world wide, not just china.
In the lead shot is a GM dealership in the bottom and SGM (Shanghai GM) corporate above, been there many times. Used to go to the to the design center (PATAC) about every 4-6 weeks for close to 7 years and have been to the production plant in Shanghai that used to make all the V6's used in small SUV's for China and US.

Old news, every car manufacture does it, china is a growing market for them. Ford, Chrysler, BMW, on and on.
GM also has design and manufacturing in Korea, (GMDAT or Daewoo), GM Brazil, GM Europe (Opel, Vectra) designed the "new" regal, Holden in Australia (Designed the current Camaro, G8 and last GTO).

This has been going on for a long long time and will not change.

What I am trying to say is that I don't think you can pick on just one, they all are global companies that source both parts and engineering where it is most cost affective.

Not just car companies,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Yeah man China sucks but that market is HUGE. As long as American companies are doing business there I'm happy. It's Japan I want to see cracked. They sell their cars here but they won't let our companies sell their cars in Japan and it's been that way for YEARS. That chit has to stop.
