GM Makes Good Use of Your Tax Dollars

GM announced that they are going to be selling a new police vehicle in America soon. It's good to see our bailout dollars going to some good use, right?

Well, not exactly. See, these cars are being made in Australia. You know, the land of koalas, crocodiles and kangaroos.

The police Caprice is to be based on a car sold by General Motors' Australian arm known as the Holden Statesman, and will be built along side that vehicle in the Down Under city of Elizabeth.

What I did find surprising is that they used to make a Pontiac version of a police vehicle at the same plant to import to this country. Of course, Pontiac is no more.

As a taxpayer you are getting hit twice. It is your local taxes which go into the coffers of city, county, and state that are used to buy these vehicles, which are being funded in part by the money GM received from the bailout they got with your tax dollars. All the while they are not adding one single job to the American payrolls.

Sucks to be you, Michigan.

Personally, my vote goes to this police vehicle made by Carbon Motors. In America.
