Tesla Motors Sued By Car Dealers
An anonymous reader writes "Car dealers in New York and Massachusetts have filed a lawsuit that seeks to block Tesla from selling its pricey electric vehicles in those states. The dealers say they are defending state franchise laws, which require manufacturers to sell cars through dealers they do not own. Robert O'Koniewski of the Massachusetts State Automobile Dealers Association says, 'Those dealers are investing millions of dollars in their franchises to make sure they comply with their franchise agreements with the manufacturers. Tesla is choosing to ignore the law and then is choosing to play outside that system.'"
How about some more facts (look 'em up).
When Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi took over congress, the deficit went from $500b to over $1T.
The 1.8 trillion deficit for Bush's last year was a budget signed by Obama and included such wise spending as the stimulus.
Obama said if we pass the stimulus unemployment would be under 6%. Unemployment is higher now then even the non-stimulus projections. And the reason why its only 7.9% is we have several million people who left the work force.
Under Obama, we have 50m+ people on food stamps.
Under Obama, we have more people going on disability (they don't count as unemployed btw) then getting a job.
Under Obama, we haven't had a federal budget in over 3 1/2 years; and according to you, that was technically Bush's spending.
Instead of parroting the usual liberal talking points, how about you start thinking for yourself.
