And duffee01, what does this article have to do with GM selling cars to the Government? You would want the Government to buy foreign cars instead? The Federal Government buys cars from all the domestic manufacturers. And doesn't Mississippi receive $1.84 from Washington for every dollar paid in taxes to the Federal Government? For the record, almost every red state receives far more from than it sends to Washington. Another inconvenient truth that you'll never hear on FOXNews.
