Let's assume that sometime between throwing the merchants from the temple but before declaring, "If you wish to be complete, go and sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you shall have treasure in heaven; and come, follow Me.

GM's taxpayer-funded restructuring plan is to import more vehicles built in low-wage countries and sell them in the United States.

Should U.S. tax dollars really be used "beef up" GM's foreign operations while U.S. autoworkers and communities face massive slim downs in wages, benefits and work rules, and the closing of manufacturing and assembly facilities throughout the country?
