Record profits for the oil companies.
And while we're at it, we'll also do away with plastics, medicines, fabrics, etc
ALL OF WHICH USE OIL AND OIL
For now they are. We do not have the technology to change? If we get rid of gas cars the price of these items will be dirt cheap because there will be too much oil on the market.
they will just stop drilling and drive the price up.how about we actually be self sufficient in energy and drill ourselves,nuclear power,coal natural gas and produce millions of jobs and tax revenue as well.No way you will ever get rid of oil Tires are oil made,lipstick,makeup Vaseline,chapstik and other accessorizes for facial needs ect are oil based,car are responsible for only 15% of oil use.,We need other forms of energy like i said Nuclear,clean coal,natural gas,better built buildings,homes ect and if we can increase our use of wind,solar for energy from 1% to 5% that would cut down some but not alot.

Hummer made in China now thats a joke! Maybe we should merge and become UNited States of China or Chimerica. We could integrate both and have our manufacturing back.

Selling to off-shore buyers should be illegal. If our government outlawed-it we wouldn't be talking to India and the Phillipines for tech support. If companies were forced to employ domestic citizens only, the US market would in fact balance itself out eventually. Prices and services would match the demand and price-points would settle at a point determined by our ability to support them as a nation.

Democracy like GM is done. If a nobody like Obama can be elected president, making promises and borrowing against the future, then it's over. We're done. Expect a slide into oblivion.

No ! The Hummer used by the military is not the Hummer on the street.

The street Hummer is a Suburban chassis with a tricked out budy.

The population in China keeps on growing. Running out of housing options. They bought the brand because the Hummer is so big a family of 4 can live in one !

Detroit, especially GM, has fought progress to the point that now, nothing can save them though Obama tried. McSame would have only put more money into the hands of the rich, caused even thousands more to suffer lost jobs even faster and, the economy would now be classified as a complete depression - worse than the 30's.
When McCain suspended his campaign and hopped a plane for Washington, a prominent Republican with McCain and President Bush and others, in the White House discussing the economic crisis, said that McCain was "the least creative person in the room.... He simply had no ideas, He didn't even have any good questions."
The Bush-oil administration was on the way to wrecking the economy with skyrocketing gas prices before the banking and financing corporations, free to wreck everything else, kicked in - and McCain did't even have a clue.
The economy is recovering thanks to Obama. Maybe Obama can get us off this Arab-oil addiction with increased CAFE standards, electric cars, whatever it takes, to stop the oil barrons - and Wall street - from ripping us off again.
"McSame would have only put more money into the hands of the rich, caused even thousands more to suffer lost jobs even faster and, the economy would now be classified as a complete depression - worse than the 30's".

What do you think Odumba just did to the tune of 4 trillion dollars? numbnutz!

Unions have two factions, one represents employees, the other represents CEO's and Executives. Huge compensation packages are put together by the Board of Directors, the very union that represents CEO's and Executives. It is time to scale back this union, for the employees union has been scaling back for the last 25 plus years.

The Chinese are going to build a fuel efficient Hummer? How much uglier can it get?
