 | Taxpayer Alert: Obama regime buying 101 Chevy (Government Motors) Volts and you're paying for themScotty Starnes | May 24, 2011 at 2:18 PM | Tags: carbon footprint, Cash for Clunkers, Chevy Volt, electric cars, President Obama | Categories: Political Issues | URL: http://wp.me/pvnFC-5jf |
Taking the American taxpayers on a ride....again!
Obama continues to reward the cronies that got him into office. The bailout of Government Motors continues. Now Obama wants to purchase 101 Chevy Volts.
The same Chevy Volt that Consumer Reports rated as a dud.
From AutoMobileMag.com:
As part of its pledge to utilize an eco-friendly vehicle pool, the Obama administration will reportedly announce today it plans on purchasing 116 new electric vehicles and installing charging stations at federal buildings in several major cities. Although the government will be buying several different types of vehicles, the majority of that order consists of Chevrolet Volts.
Looks like Obama didn't learn from the first "cash for clunkers" fiasco and wants to redistribute more taxpayer dollars to his beloved union buddies inside Government Motors.
By the start of 2012, the General Services Administration, which oversees the purchase of two-thirds of the federal fleet, will take delivery of 101 new Volts, 10 Nissan Leafs, and five Think City EV plug-in electric vehicles. While the purchase will help to reduce the agency's carbon footprint, it will not increase the size of the federal fleet, as the GSA buys approximately 65,000 new vehicles every year.
The electric vehicles will be given to 20 different agencies in Detroit, San Francisco, San Diego, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C., where the government will also install charging stations for federal use. The report is not clear on whether or not the charging stations will also be open to the public.
It's just a coincidence that all these cities are liberal havens filled with Obama-zombies.
