GM bets Americans will buy cars made in China (million, bailout, workers)

[Retroit]

You can't blame them for wanting to make cars in a country whose government actually supports manufacturers and workers.

[BigDGeek]

Nope...I will not buy a car made in China.

[HappyTexan]

Well I hope that means the price of these new vehicles come down.
Other countries pay way less for GM vehicles made outside of the US.

Yeah it's the sterling workers rights records in China.

I'm sure some Chinese workers will join in this thread once they've worked out how to bypass The Great Firewall

Don't worry the protectionists will slap some tariffs on to make imports sold here more expensive while enriching the Kings coffers at the same time.
Win/win

The Kings always fill their coffers and have for thousands of years.

Those who don't mind other nations like China putting Tariffs on, or manipulating currency, and other road blocks they put in the way of our exports are not engaged in free trade.
If we have to use tariffs and other measures to get fair and equal trade then that would be in our interest to do it. It might also provide good jobs here where people can buy the goods. We have a situation now where fewer and fewer people are going to have jobs that pay enough to buy the cheep junk that will get ever more expensive, as things always do over time that ( I bought my first house for 29,000 and your lucky to get a good car for that now ), China wants to sell us.

This from the same company that Obama bailed out with taxpayer money.

Hopefully this vehicle will be named the Obamamobile. He, Hillary Clinton and their ilk love globalization.

i.e. Yet another failure brought to the American workers by Obama.

This is a great way to maim and kill some Americans.
