Government Motors to supply Government Electric with taxpayer-subsidized vehicles. #tcot #teaparty

The United States government owns a controlling stake in GM (Government Motors).



The Chevrolet Volt electric vehicle is subsidized with tax incentives to push the leftist green agenda:

Those tax incentives are already coming to bear, at least for the Volt. Barron’s reports that with a federal subsidy, the Volt’s price could be as low as $33,500, after a $7,500 tax subsidy financed by the American taxpayer under President Barack Obama’s stimulus bill. That might sound a bit more affordable, but the subsidy masks the true $41,000 cost. If you contrast that with other new offerings (take the highly fuel efficient, $13,320 Ford Fiesta, for example), that’s a steep price.

The GM and Chrysler union bailout is benefiting someone, at least.
