clunkers part II

We will have to see where this leads but less than a week into this so called "plan" (see oxymoron) they have to halt it. Apparently, Obama math shows 25,000 cars (sold in the first week) times 4,500 dollars equals 950 million dollars. (for the rest of us we know that it totals 112 million). Where did the other 838 million go? Administrative fees or is that adminstration fees? This "plan was supposed to fund 250,000 not 25,000. They are off by a digit.
Hold on to your health!

Cash for clunkers

Well, it is playing out just as I figured. The MSN article on this program had a photo op showing a family with a 10yr old japanese vehicle (made in japan and not supporting U.S. economy) trading it in for a new japanese vehicle (not made here or supporting the U.S. economy) and getting $4500 of OUR tax dollars in a rebate.
The federal government is really pushing for universal, mandatory health care. By the way fed legislators and employees are exempt from being forced to participate.
If you are already as tired of the current leadership in washington spending every last dime of our future incomes on pipe dreams and pet projects then lets vote them out. PERIOD.
You can vote and send me to washington and you can bet I will not vote for tax increases, I will not vote for government intervention in our lives, I will not vote to use tax payer money to bailout irresponsible corporations and their executives, I will not vote for rebates for buying FORIEGN made cars or any product. I have voted NO on the town budget because it had an increase.
The federal government wastes so much money. The current administration talks about beinf free of the need for foriegn oil and energy. The department of energy was formed back under Carter for that very reason and it has done little and has a 24 billion dollar budget. The list goes on and on but enough for now.
