truvoice1 Champion Author San Diego Posts:1,403 Points:499,300 Joined:Feb 2011	Message Posted: Jan 6, 2013 3:05:44 AM Ignore truvoice1 Report Abuse Whatever happened to the law of supply and demand? And why does government think it can mess with the laws of business natural selection? If Fisker can make a product that consumers want to buy, then it wouldn't need government money in the first place! Let the consumer decode whether or not the company can make it.
