Volkswagen takes our money and pols take credit

All the pols are gushing because they can envision themselves up there on the podium at the groundbreaking, basking in the glow as Volkswagen officials pander and fawn to them for "all they have done."

Truth is, the only thing the pols did was to take a very large wad of taxpayer cash and throw it at Volkswagen. Meanwhile thousands of small Tennessee businesses receive absolutely NOTHING for creating most of the new jobs....no taxpayer money, no pat on the back....nada, zip, zero.

I certainly hope they will have just one taxpayer on the podium to accept the thanks that BOTH the pols and Volkswagen should extend.
