Today Ohio will lose another 8,000 jobs when GM announces dealership closings in
the Buckeye State. If we only had massive renewable energy
manufacturing in the state to put these people back to work.

I don't quite understand the relationship between the auto manufacturers and the dealerships.

Wouldn't you want as many locations as possible selling your products?

Here is something that should make your blood boil.

GM plans to import Chinese-made vehicles to the U.S.

Should the government tell GM, 'You're free to import these cards, but you get not one more dime from us, and you have 90 days to pay back all the money you got from us.'
