I understand that. I guess my subtle point was that GM is losing $8 grand on the Volt and the government is kicking in another $7 grand in subsidies. That's $15 grand they (us taxpayers) are paying someone to buy the car. It's bad business for a company that has a history of losing money and is trying to come out of bankruptcy.
