Edward Harrison submits:
An article in the National Post suggests General Motors may look to divert some of its bailout money to Europe in the wake of a chill in German government support for subsidies. Talk of using taxpayer money to benefit workers in other countries is sure to raise ire, especially in the United States where the unemployment rate has hit double-digit levels.
When General Motors was forced into receivership this past Spring, it received tens of billions in bailout money from the U.S. and Canadian governments in order to protect jobs in the auto sector.
