No, it is not true that 79% of GM's sales in June were to the government. Once again, people who do not know how to do simple arithmetic are spreading urban legends on the internet for their political gain. About 30% of GM sales are to fleets, which is about that same as Ford and Chrysler, and about where they historically have been. Fleet sales include sales to daily rental companies, corporations, contractors, and municipal, state and government agencies. Last year the federal government bought about 55,000 non-military vehicles. So even if the fed bought everything from GM, which is does not, it would account for a little over 2% of GM's sales. I'd estimate total GM sales to the federal government is under 1%--not exactly a giant windfall, is it? Lies, lies and more lies by the unhinged right.

Well, seems like everybody has 'figures' to share. Big, big difference between 79% and 1% . I have been searching for real numbers but I can't seem to know were to go, if any one can help, well, please do so as an independent, no bias, please.

This is very important to me, it will weight very heavy on my voting choice.

Thanks
