Where did some of that loan money go?

To create manufacturing jobs. Overseas. In Finland.

According to ABC News, "... an electric car company [Fisker Automotive] that received a $529 million federal government loan guarantee is assembling its first line of cars in Finland, saying it could not find a facility in the United States capable of doing the work."

And, apparently, that's not enough for Gary Peters. He wants to double down on a program that creates jobs for Europeans, not Americans. In his own press release, "...I am hopeful the Senate will soon act on my Advanced Vehicle Technology Act, and ... the Advanced Technology Vehicles Manufacturing Loan program that made this loan possible should be doubled."  

This is why career politicians like Gary Peters are not the answer to bringing jobs, especially manufacturing jobs, back to Metro Detroit. Empty rhetoric is bad enough, but rhetoric that sends Michigan jobs to Finland has to stop. We deserve better.
