Don't be so gruppy so early in the morning. If you watched the whole clip, the guy got permission not to put the initial manufacturing in the US with the carrot that if the car sells well he would use a closed manufacturing plant in Deleware to set up production and create over 1,000 jobs.

The car at $97K is a hybrid that does not even get as good gas milage as the Ford Explorer Hybrid ... yet the tax payers are footing the bill with no immediate benefit. Just this guys dream.

It should not have been funded at all ... and when the Obama administration learned that the production would not be in the US ... they should have backed out of the deal then.

I have a problem with the tax payers funding venture capital projects ... that is for the private sector to do ... not use tax payers money. That is not a role I feel government should be playing ... I don't care which party is in office. You see things like this and "green energy" funding ... done by dictators and communist country where government controls everything.
