Does "Made in America" still mean anything when it comes to cars? It would if the Obama administration would have kept their paws off and let free enterprise prevail. GM could have gone down into protection of Chapter Eleven and come back stronger without the union leach sucking them dry with rules such as paying employees not to work. Sadly in today's headline on DrudgeReport.com, "GM Bankruptcy: as early as next week."



Today in America, we the sheeple have been cursed with a gang of criminals overtaking D.C. with a very important agenda on their Bilderberg Group corrupted brains: Convince TV addicted sheeple they must line the pockets of Al Gore and company by going green. Unfortunately our auto industry has become their whore. All slaves hail Cult of the Messiah and their green religion.

While some are buying new cars that resemble nothing but golf carts or electric wheelchairs with a tin can cover from the elements, this does nothing for victim survival in a crash situation. Fatalities from wrecks involving these vehicles is on the rise, more so since compact cars hit the market with Toyota and Honda. Insurance companies have no choice but to retaliate with higher rates. The Fed has found less gas tax dollars gracing their coffers, experimenting with ways to recover their tax revenues, bringing up a new question: "Where's my savings?"

Yet another brand of American driver, RV'ers, refuse to buy into this deal unless they can pull it behind their Class A, Modified Class B and Class C motor coaches on a trailer. Three quarter and one ton GMC, Dodge and Ford trucks remain in demand by those towing larger fifth wheels and travel trailers from comfortable lengths of thirty to forty foot, some with slide out compartments to add living space such as those made by AmericanaRV.com.

In a survey of RV forums, campgrounds and parks the feeling is mutual. One Full Time RV'er agreed to an interview summing it up. He was with his family enjoying a stop over lunch at Smokey's Restaurant in Capitan, New Mexico. In his thirties wearing a "Live Free or Die," T-shirt he stated, "That forty foot fifth wheel RV parked across the street is our home now. We had to sell our house after the wife and I got laid off. With what we had left from the sale, along with delivering pizzas, we bought a used truck and RV paid in full. Now Obama wants to tell us what to drive? Is this America or Cuba? He can pry my steering wheel out of my cold dead hands."
