But rest assured they will find a way to tax it if electric autos become a

As they should. Someone has to pay for the roads. Who better than the users?

Who better to pay for the roads? I see it this way.
The municipal governments pay for maintaining
the roads, then they put another chunk of money
into trying to set up urban mass-transit. They've
got it all wrong. They are subsidizing the oil
companies by repairing the roads that are being
used by their customers. Let the oil companies pay
for the roads.

...and who pays for the oil?

And hey, the U.S. owns about 40% of GM, let GM
be turning out cablecars.

Spoken like a true socialist Obamanut.-

obama did a good thing keeping GM in america.

Nonsense. It should have gone through bankruptcy court like any other
corporation.

in a total collapse its assets would of been bought by china, and all
parts and final assembly would of been moved to china. all those
american jobs gone forever.

More nonsense. Even if so, the other manufacturers would have taken up the
slack.

all that would remain here would of been some large parts warehouses.

GM is paying the money back.

With *taxpayer* money. That is *not* paying anything "back" to anyone.

without obama unemployment today would be about 25% just like the
great depression.....

Clueless.

is that really what people wanted?

Totally clueless.
