Just in case you missed the reason why no money was exchanged for majority of Chrysler ownership was, and I quote; "Fiat obtained ownership rights for Chrysler by trading SMALL CAR TECHNOLOGY to Chrysler." That is correct, the company that is tied to Mitsubishi needed Fiat to give them small technology to keep afloat.

First, its GEM not Jen. We arent talking about a girl.
So the party that was totally against bailing out the auto industry with government money because it was considered socialism and didnt want the government telling what Chrysler what to do, is now saying that it should interfere with what Chrysler should do with its manufacturing? hmm. good point vicious. ::rollseyes::
Seriously the hipocracy has to end. While i dont agree with this decision, in what the GOP calls Free Enterprise, this is an unfortunate, but necessary evil of that. And you know what, Chrysler will pay for it. If they ship the manufacturing overseas, and people catch wind of it, people will just need to boycott their cars. simple as that. We vote every day with our wallets, in the items we purchase, We choose "Made in the USA", or "Made in China", we choose "Organic" vs "GMO" we make these choices and decide what works for our society. If Chrysler makes the decision to move their production overseas and people decide to go Ford, or Chevy instead and Chrysler loses sales, well maybe they will bring it back. Many companies have done just that, as people take notice and decide to go elsewhere for products and services that are local.
The auto Bailout was a good thing, it saved a ton of jobs, but the government had to cut the umbilical cord and let the companies make their own decisions again.
