GM CEO Dan Akerson said on Monday that the company would expand its dealership network in China this year by about 600.

"We will expand our dealer network to 3,500 stores from the 2,900 that we ended up with in 2011," he told reporters.

I believe I quoted the entire piece so there isn't much info to be had...
...regardless, as if our economy isn't in bad enough shape, the Obama minions running Government Motors now wish to ship even more work overseas.

What's a little sugar between two commie lovers?

Wonder if Obama's going to pay them a living wage or
is he going to treat them like his brother in Kenya?

In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.

What about them?  You think Obama gives a rats ass about them?  Just like the bondholders, just more rich bastards to kick to the curb, no great loss.  What else would a commie bastard do?

Oh, but those rich bastards employed a lot of people you say?  And bondholders were regular people too invested in IRA's, 401k's and pensions you say?  Well, too bad Obama says, you shouldn't have associated with rich bastards!

Stymie is pure commie trash through and through!

You'd think great masses of people would know that by now...

 ::facepalm::

Perhaps Trap's pic will get through to them, it sure looks spot on to me!

The string of bad economic news to close out Q1 continued today with the Census/HUD announcement of new residential sales in March.  The seasonally-adjusted annual rate of sales fell 7.1% from February, although there are a few glimmers of good news in the decline:

Even the lib-goobers who put all faith in gummint have to begin having doubts when so much of what gummint does leads to unexpected results.  How many times do they need to see that before thinking to themselves, "huh?"

Yep.  Evil.  Because nothing says "evil" like people simply trading with each other for their mutual benefit.

It's not like statism hasn't failed AND KILLED everywhere it's been imposed, right?  Musta had something to do with the "wrong" people running t'ings.

America is our house and these numbers indicate that our mortgage

Democrat admits the US is the best looking horse in the glue factory
Quote
He said the U.S. is now paying $250 billion a year in interest on the debt, and that is only because, mercifully, interest rates are at historic lows. That’s chiefly because investors are more worried about the risk of default by European nations, and because the Fed is doing everything in its power to keep interest rates low. “It’s because we’re the best-looking horse in the glue factory,” he said.

Quote
Interestingly, Bowles remains optimistic that the circumstances are so dire that Congress will have to act, although it probably won’t happen until the seven weeks between Election Day and the end of the year. “We have to,” he said. “We’ve simply made promises that we can’t keep.”

So there you have it - the Obstructionist Democrats will do nothing till after the election.

Quote
He allowed that “most people” think there will be agreement on reducing the deficit by $4 trillion, the “minimum amount you need to reduce the deficit to stabilize the debt and get it on a downward path as a percent of GDP.”
