Hold it right there.

-Thanks to Cong. King R-NY and his dogs sniffed out a WH/Hollwood plot to sharing military intelligence. Seems the WH allowed high level access to photos of the take out of OBL last summer, to go to a Hollywood producer for inclusion in a movie due out right before election day. Of course... pp image was to be bigger than a inflated ballon of Santa Claus until Cong. King punch a hole and the deflated balloon drifts to the ground. The movie, if it happens, has been postponed until after the election season.
-Almost a total recall of the 2011 Chevy Volt (8,000) was announced, following a third fire ocurred of a Volt in a test condition. Seems a side impact affects the Lithium battery cooling system and it envelops the car in flames.
- How regular first responders approach a fully charge battery in this condition, in the real world setting is unknown.
- Lets see, it cost the taxpayers $ 250K to manufacture one Volt auto today.
- $250K x 8,000 = $2,000,000,000/ lot. Only 80% of a projected 10,000 manufacturing quota were made or it would of cost the taxpayers more money.
-To purchase a Volt cost ~$40,000 after discounts, rebates x 8,000 cars produced makes $320,000,000 - EBDIT.
-$2,000,000,000 - $320,000,000 = $1,680,000,000 gross loss.
-pp and the jockey have some splaing to do?
-The EU and euro nations financials are going to be a real anchor to any US recovery, not-with-standing the fiat above and many more standing in the wings. Help!
