I don't usually get too upset about many ofthe things which are beyond our individual control regarding Federal supports and monies doled out during this Financial Crisis.

However, when I went on the Automotive News Website this afternoon. This article really struck me very hard. I know we are all going through a lot of problems. I also know that BMW employs a lot of people here in the United States. But, taking part in Federal supports by a supposedly sound foreign based company to be able to maintain their business here in the face of North American Based Maunufacturing Companies, really seems a bit disingenuous.

Check out this article from the Automotive News Website:

This all from a company based in a nation that refused to assist GM when Opel needed help.
