It was recently brought to the public that the United States government is prepping to spend $285 million to buy 17,600 vehicles created by the Detroit 3.
The government is hoping that by spending this money they will make their fleet of cars more gas efficient while also giving a boost to auto sales for GM, Chrysler, and Ford.
The purchase is expected to go down before June 1st and the government is saying that it will save 1.3 million gallons of fuel annually. That’s cool and all, but I think I’d rather see some more of that money back in my pocket, don’t you think?

On one hand, the “big three” aren’t so big lately so they could use the help. However, you’ve also got a point… It would be great to have the money again through tax refunds and whatnot. It would really help w/ home expenses and such!
