American taxpayer money creates jobs for Finland auto workers $500,000,000 out of Americans pockets, all the auto workers

out of jobs in America

undoubtedly America will fall,it is unsustainable uncontrollable and it will collapse be prepared, no excuses no exceptions.

Dollar devaluation is underway printing excessively will now begin hyperinflation quantitative easing three is now underway.

[dadhadit]

there is not a damn thing anyone can do about it.Gold and silver still continues to go up for investors that are looking

for a safe haven for their savings.

The dollar will not be worth the paper that it is printed on, this is a engineered collapse globally, it will soon be revealed

to every American the reality of which I speak, please wake the fuck up before it is too late.

An 80's bumper sticker comes to mind "Hungry! Eat your foreign car" I'll pay more for Made in the USA . Assembled in America not good enough. I'll still support companies that are owned here as opposed to anywhere else. I go out of my way to pay more for U.S.A. made stuff and if more people don't start there won't be any jobs worth having here in this Country and 9% unemployment will look like a picnic. You can't afford stuff from USA, YOU CAN'T AFFORD NOT TO ANYMORE. The CHAIWANESE crap SHAME!!

Obama also used the stimulus money from the American people to fund the "Green Jobs" for China, over 2 Billion dollars, this guy is killing America as he takes money for us to support Foreign countries. Obama needs to be accountable for this type of Fraud.....

[jjcatful]

Can't believe the mainstream media is exposing Obama for what he is.

If you're interested in facts and not sensationalism (Part 1):

+The Fisker Karma was developed by engineers and designers in America

+Not a single dollar of the DoE loan has been spent outside of the USA. All expenditures are reviewed by PwC on behalf of the DoE

+ Fisker has made it a priority to create U.S. jobs, which led to the purchase of its own assembly plant in Delaware, hiring American workers

[USoSilly2Me]

@LonePalmBJ Your "FACTS" are full of "HOLES".

[LonePalmBJ]

@USoSilly2Me How so? What exactly do you disagee with and why?

[USoSilly2Me]

@LonePalmBJ Fisker Automotive, is funded by a venture capital firm whose partners include former Vice President Al Gore.

[LonePalmBJ]

@USoSilly2Me @USoSilly2Me Yes, Al Gore is a partner in Kleiner Perkins, the primary VC behind Fisker (and dozens of other startups). I didn't claim otherwise, so I'm not sure how this is relevant?

You're welcome to believe whatever you wish, of course, but as my original post stated, for those interested in the actual facts of the story and not the breathless sensationalizing, the ABC report is misleading at best.

[USoSilly2Me]

@LonePalmBJ "+There is no link between Fisker Automotive and any political party." quote from you.

An investigation has purportedly found that the DOE’s bet carries risks for taxpayers, has raised concern among industry observers and government auditors, and raised additional questions about the way in which billions of dollars in loans for smart cars and green energy companies are appropriated.

As I stated, Your "FACTS" are full of "HOLES".

[USoSilly2Me]

@LonePalmBJ Additionally and Ironically, the Fisker’s $100,000 price-tag eliminates the “other 99%” of the potential customer base. That may be just as well, since it offers worse fuel efficiency than many gas-guzzling SUV’s.

[LonePalmBJ]

If you're interested in facts and not sensationalism (Part 2):

+ DoE money was used solely in the U.S. to fund design, engineering, and integration work. This has helped to create 650 jobs at Fisker’s headquarters in California and over 100 in Delaware

+More than 45% of the components of the Fisker Karma sedan are manufactured by US suppliers

+Only private equity financing has been used for costs not covered by the DoE loan.

+There is no link between Fisker Automotive and any political party.

You little worker bees have been tricked once again. You have to pay for a car that you'll never own or drive.
