I love how its America first. Is America really first Rush? He is angry by the success of an American company. Yeah and he wants Obama to fail. All this and wrapped in the American flag. Maybe we should see HIS birth certificate. lol

The only thing that will pull this country out of its slump is innovation. Republicans, for whatever reason, will kick and scream and stomp their size seven feet any time a breath is spoken about doing anything slightly differently. Cheers to GM, cheers to the Volt, boo and boo and boo to fat, loathsome Limbaugh and his ilk.

Ironically who are the people that actually by the real GM products (not including Volts)? It's conservatives that buy GM products. Although liberals claim to support the UAW they don't touch American cars, and they're not buying Volts en masse - nobody is.

The libz call for support of the Volt seem to be a tad insincere considering that they couldn't wait to put Hummer out of business. There were more Hummers sold than there will ever be of Volt based vehicles.

Motor trend car of the year is not about the best car made it's about best car of the year meaning new arrival or significantly updated.

volt doesn't sell because it's a loony design

YES, Progressives wanted "social justice" i.e. "home ownership is a RIGHT".

This LIE caused crony-political Malfeasance & the Malinvestment leading to bubble & collapse.

@yakyakyak69 The "bad players" techinically did nothing illegal. The regulations that were in place to prevent them from doing what they did were stripped away by the Clinton administration and Republican Congress in the 90s, then stripped back even more by the Bush administration and Republican Congress because of this crazy belief that ANY regulation is bad.

and "Progressive National Socialists"? Now I KNOW you got that shit from Beck because I watched that episode too and it's bullshit.

@DisturbedHavok

This is one DIRECT "Unintended Consequence" aka "Blow Back" of Keynesian Central Planning.

As long as you Progressive National Socialists insist on sticking your head in the sand, these problems will get worse because YOU are NOT allowing them to be checked by market forces like BANKRUPTCY and LITIGATION.

The bad players SHOULD have been fined & imprisoned and NOT given a promise of a huge payday in the form of a taxpayer funded bailout.

Message: Win by cheating!

@yakyakyak69 The banks went far beyond the original idea. They created these bundled up shit mortgages and trade them on a backroom market so they could shift that risk onto others. THAT had nothing to do with anything Keynesian.

Good heavens...who even listens to Rush any more? I didn't even know he still does a radio show.

@DisturbedHavok

This whole thing was cooked up by the Fed and the Progressives in Congress who wanted "social justice" both NeoCons and Democrats.

The blame lies with cheap, easy, FIAT debt currency creating an environment where crony corporatism where success is kept and failure is transferred to the taxpayers can pretend to be capitalism which when FREE has REAL consequences.

The banks played in the pool that was filled with unintended consequences of Keynesian central planning.

@yakyakyak69 You misunderstood my use of capitalist. I was talking about the geniuses who clearly knew these loans that they were making were risky, but they continued to make them because they developed a scheme to get them off their corporate books. Both President Clinton and Republicans who supported the repeal of Glass-Steagal are to blame for this as far as the gov't is concerned, but the removal of regulation allowed for this collapse as it allowed corporations to take these larger risks.
