Pass the Pork

This should be filed under the "you have got to be kidding me" category.

I guess AL GORE, you remember him, just got himself $529 MILLION to develop a HYBRID Sports Car (at a estimated sales price of $89,000) - but that isn't the worst of it...he will be developing this car in FINLAND...
Why, with the economy the way it is, would we reach into our pockets and pull out $529 million and send it off to FINLAND?

And this is right after we took $465 MILLION and sent it off to ENGLAND for the Development of the Tesla Roadster (which sells for $109,000)...

I see a pattern developing here:
#1 - Give HUGE loans for the development of Hybrid or Electric cars (this isn't the bad part)
#2 - these companies are in FOREIGN Countries, in other words, we are sending our money OUT of the United States (in other words, it DOES NOT BENEFIT THE USA)
#3 - These Hybrid and Electric cars CANNOT BE AFFORDED BY THE COMMON PERSON...in other words, NO ONE WILL BUY THEM (except the VERY RICH) and the purchase price will go to the COmpany which is located OUT SIDE OF THE USA...so "we" do not benefit from the sales (except for a little tax money)

There you have it. We are pulling HUGE amounts of money out of our already failing economy and sending it out of the country (in one case, to Finland, and in the other, to England) for vehicles that very few will buy, so there will be no benefit to the Economy, no benefit to the Environment, no benefit to anyone but very few people, and mostly outside the country.

Please tell me the Government isn't this stupid?
