Quote:This is the type of thing that grinds my gears.  And it's exactly what bother's me most about our corporatist politics.  Something bothers me about this Korean car manufacturing story...  Was there some sort of a bid for the stimulus money?  Was Tesla's bid too high, so they gave it to the Korean company?  

 

This brings up another question:  Where you for the bank bailouts?  What about the Auto-Industry bail out?  

 

I personally was not for the bank bailouts.  But I thought the Auto Bail out was a good idea, and seems to have worked.  I'm still not sure why we haven't had a huge stimulus package to fix our deteriorating bridges and create a better internet infrastructure.  It seems there are alot of ways to build a better America, if we were willing to invest in American things instead of wasting money on foreign trade and foreign countries.

 

As for why it was never broadcast...  One can only imagine.  But I have my guesses.  I'm sure you know what they are.   :thumbsup:

 

There was not a bid for the stimulus money involved in this story.

 

I was/am against both bailouts.

 

Regarding why it was never broadcast, the whole story behind the matter is told in a book that I just finished reading titled "Stonewalled" by former CBS Investigative Reporter Sharyl Attkisson.  It's a very good and "eye opening" book, and I highly recommend it.  I'm willing to send it to you if you would like to read it.  I'll bet that you're surprised that conservative-leaning me is reading a book written by a reporter from a "liberal" news outlet.
