U.S. tax money to help Toyota

An Arkansas company last week got $2 million from the Department of Energy “to further develop the company’s high-performance electronics over the next two years.”

Sounds good, right? Two million added to the company certainly is good for Arkansas.

The money goes to work on … ready? … “advances to systems used in the Toyota Prius.”

That’s right. T-O-Y-O-T-A.

And, those systems are part of programs that will “provide greater freedom and energy security to Americans …”

Summation: My tax dollars, taken by the federal government, go to an Arkansas company to make a Japanese car company’s products more efficient.

Where is Curtis LeMay when you need him?
