How do you like your tax dollars going to help Finland with Al Gore's Car Company?

WASHINGTON -- A tiny car company backed by former Vice President Al Gore has just gotten a $529 million U.S. government loan to help build a hybrid sports car in Finland that will sell for about $89,000. http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125383160812639013.html Why is Obama sending jobs overseas? Why not have the company in the US and employ Americans?

1. Good point. Outsourcing WILL cripple America if it is not stopped. The Iraq war has to be ended, though, as it has wasted far more tax dollars than what Al Gore is doing.
2. hell no! this is a gift to reward someone for supporting 0bama.
3. That covers Medicare expenditures for 35,267 people. Did I here Barack and Michelle say "Let them Eat Cake". Plus the 2 billion to Soros's Oil company = medicare expenditures for 133,333 people.
4. I would rather they had sent Algore to Finland, with instructions not to come back!
5. Bush administration Libya giving $1.15 million for Libya in fiscal year 2008. and the Bush administration paying paying Sunni insurgents that have already killed Americans not to attack U.S. forces bothered me more.
6. It sickens me. Not only are we paying to outsource more jobs, the only people who'll be able to afford one of these would be the wealthy. It's disgusting and obviously political payback. I like this about as much as I do: The Obama Administration plans to give $400,000 in funding to a Libyan charity run by the Gadhafi family.
7. And whats the name of this vehicle the YOU-GO-AL?
8. Taxes are a fact of life. I cannot choose which ones I like and which ones that I don't -- neither can you. Green technology -- it was part of the agenda. Unless you were out of the country for 2 years, you should have known that if Obama was elected that these types of projects would get approval. Protectionism can also hurt a nation. You cannot expect other countries to do business with the US if the US is not going to invest overseas.
9. I dont like it. ir reminds me of CROYNISM!
10. About the same as I feel about Comrade 0bama sending Billions to Brazil so they can drill for Oil offshore,while denying Americans access to our own Oil. RWE
11. because Gore, like all democrats is a thief !!!!!
12. Its better than pouring billions into a war that was based on lies...
13. Another scam by the democrats
14. Where were all you people complaining when Bush poured trillions of dollars into conguering Iraq? Explain to me how exactly does the Iraq war benefit you people? I've been wondering this since 2003 and I still can't figure it out.
