GM Wants to Bankrupt the Rest of Us Too

Not happy with running his own company into bankruptcy (and staying in denial over the fact), GM's CEO Rick Wagoner says that America needs $4/gallon gasoline.

He says this while touting the Volt, which is currently a nice drawing on a piece of paper and is what General Motors is hinging it's entire future upon. This despite the fact that other companies already have better cars with the same concept on the road right now. To-wit, the Honda Insight and Toyota Prius.

Cheaper too.

Well, hey, if I were flush with government bailout cash and wanting to make a splash in the news, especially to the environmentalist crowd, I guess I'd say stuff like this too. After all, what do I care? I'll just go to Washington to ask for more bailouts. It's not like Wagoner's multi-million dollar salary and bonuses don't let him afford gasoline at any price.

When the Volt comes out, I challenge everyone in America to spray paint them at the dealerships with "VOLT IS BANKRUPT" like the animal rights activists used to do back in the day with fur coats.

Screw these morons. What we need, Mr. Wagoner, is for people like you to shut the hell up and go home and leave us alone. Alternative energy and transportation is coming, but we don't need morons like you to help it get here. Take your Volt and shove it up your fat, corporate patooty.
