...they're shutting Detroit down

I love this frigg'n song...

I don't give a god damn what I'm "supposed" to believe as a conservative. What could be more truly conservative than loving one's country and praying one's fellow countrymen be gainfully employed producing products and services of true value?

Is this America?

General Motors said on Sunday it has agreed to set up a light commercial vehicle production venture with major Chinese automaker FAW Group, with total investment of 2 billion yuan ($293 million).

The 50-50 joint venture, based in the northeast China city of Changchun in Jilin province, will make light-duty trucks and vans, GM said in a statement.

"For us in China, this is an important complement to the rest of our portfolio," Kevin Wale, president and managing director for GM's China operations, told reporters in a conference call.

The venture will use two existing FAW plants in Changchun and the city of Harbin, also in the northeast, with combined annual capacity of roughly 90,000 vehicles, Wale said.

A greenfield plant, currently under construction in Harbin, will add 100,000 units of capacity by the end of next year, he said.

Vehicles made at the venture will carry the FAW brand and will focus on supplying the China market, but they could be exported under a GM brand through the Detroit automaker's global network in the future, Wale said.

GM is making Buick, Chevrolet and Cadillac models at its flagship China venture with SAIC Motor Corp. It also makes minivans, pickup trucks and the Spark compact car in a three-way tie-up with SAIC and Liuzhou Wuling Automobile.

This is where our bailout funds go - to China... to employ Chinese workers...???

This is where a good chunk of our government run - USING OUR TAX DOLLARS - "Cash for Clunkers" program money went... to a firm which seems more concerned with building up the Chinese economy than our own...???

Remember the old misquote "What's good for General Motors is good for the country?" Well folks... it looks like those days are far, far behind us.

God DAMN these greedy ba$tards!
