American jobs? Not this way!

Everyone that thought the TARP funds were intended to encourage economic recovery in the United States, raise their hand! Yeah, me too.

In a stunning announcement, General Motors, has detailed a plan to triple it's commitment to Opal in Europe to a total of $2.6 Billion. This is taxpayer money spent to help America. I am trying to figure this out. (http://tinyurl.com/yb8s8lg)

There is a great article on The Huffington post by NYU Professor Gomory about why we need manufacturing capacity in the US. (http://tinyurl.com/yc6kw6w) Did I miss the part about our tax dollars rebuilding Europe? GM has committed our taxes to India, China, and Europe while spending huge amounts to close Saturn, Pontiac, and Hummer in the US. It just seems wrong!

Thanks to everyone and have a safe and blessed Tuesday!
