    Geez Dannyboy, ..I can't get through to you....If GM is building vehicles here and selling them here, ( to real patriots ) then they are providing jobs here.. It is not like the are sending or jobs oversees for cheaper wages and importing those vehicles here, they are selling them to Chinese. I have not problem with that.

    It's when they send our good jobs oversees for slave labor wages, and abandon one of our towns completely, causing trickle down unemployment. And, blaming unions, so top executives can make tens of millions per year.  And that has happened.

    And apparently I cannot get through to you. Yes they are sending jobs overseas, how can you even dispute that? If GM builds that plant in the US, they help the US economy with jobs. Correct? They can build here and sell to the Chinese all they want.

    70% of GM cars are currently produced outside the US. When does it get to the point for you to say GM is outsourcing jobs?

    Stay disciplined and manage your bankroll

    May 2013 -General Motors Company will start building a $1.3 billion plant in Shanghai’s Jinqiao zone in China from next month that will manufacture its popular Cadillac luxury model. The automaker intends to capture the potential luxury market in China..

    The company aims to produce 150,000 vehicles annually from the plant..

    In March, GM revealed plans to build four new plants in China in order to boost annual production capacity to 5 million vehicles and triple its exports from Chinese plants by 2015. GM and its joint venture partners in China plan to invest $11 billion in the country by 2016 as part of their major expansion program.

    Holding 211 million shares of GM the Obama administration did not voice objections ....

    Greg Gutfeld of Redeye had a good idea...

    We can turn Detroit into a sanctuary city for illegals. If they get it up and running then BAM! Immediate citizenship.

    Not really a bad Idea...I think it could work ..a lot of illegals do work hard... from what I have seen they also do good work and would appreciate the opportunity to better themselves..

    Why don't they build them in the US? Do they love the Chinese worker more than the American?
    I bet Chines slaves are cheaper...although it does cost a little when they commit suicide because working 16 hours a day under horrible conditions can be hard..

    Geez Dannyboy, ..I can't get through to you....If GM is building vehicles here and selling them here, ( to real patriots ) then they are providing jobs here.. It is not like the are sending or jobs oversees for cheaper wages and importing those vehicles here, they are selling them to Chinese. I have not problem with that.

    It's when they send our good jobs oversees for slave labor wages, and abandon one of our towns completely, causing trickle down unemployment. And, blaming unions, so top executives can make tens of millions per year.  And that has happened.


    Why don't they build them in the US? Do they love the Chinese worker more than the American?
    I bet Chines slaves are cheaper...although it does cost a little when they commit suicide because working 16 hours a day under horrible conditions can be hard..
