Bailout Hypocrisy

Bailout Hypocrisy
The February 2009 issue of Motor Trend (pg 14) has an interesting article about Richard Shelby, a Republican Senator from Alabama. He has been a vocal critic of the bailout of Detroit. Although, his home state has shelled out nearly 3/4 of a billion dollars to Hyundai, Toyota, Honda and Mercedes.
To date all states have paid $3.2 Billion in incentives to Foreign automakers. I wonder if those Foreign Car Executives flew private jets when negotiating with those states? Perhaps, the Detroit big three, need to move their headquarters out of the US to receive the preferred treatment of foreign Automakers.
