In effect, the government plan takes money ($450) from your pocket and ($450) the pockets of each of your nine friends and gives it ($4,500) to your neighbor across the street so that your neighbor can trade in his old car, that has a market value of $500, but because of yours and your neighbors' contributions to the Clunker program, has a value to its owner of $4,500, which your neighbor can use to help pay for the new car.  

This new car was built by the government owned General Motors' union workers whose pension will be guaranteed by your good credit, financed by bailed out government banks, driven over multi-million dollar turtle tunnels built by government  Stimulus eco-dollars, fueled by govenment subsidized ethanol, and parked in a garage in a house with a government mandated sub prime mortgage, that the potential car buyer cannot afford.  

And now they want to spend 2 billion more dollars on this "successful" stimulus effort.

.........and from the president who said the Cambridge police acted "stupidly'.

AND JUST WHO ALLOWS THIS RECKLESS  TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT TO ROB US AND OUR CHILDREN ?

IT IS YOU AND I.   WHILE WE COMPLACENTLY SIT ON OUR HANDS  AND KEEP OUR EYES CLOSED, OUR ASSETS AND THOSE OF OUR CHILDREN ARE OPENLY SEIZED BY THE PERNICIOUS GOVERNMENT LEECH, WHOSE APPETITE   TO FUND THESE COLLECTIVIST PROGRAMS, CANNOT BE SATISFIED.

Our objection is barely audible as we forget to vote, don't actively campaign for worthy candidate, and are silent as the Democrats and their sychophants impose their will.

If we do not rise up to stop this malevolent government takeover, then we are but complicit enablers.

This government program is another ignoble, collectivist act of a socialist leaning government that doesn't give a whit that there is no money in the treasury to fund this ridiculous act of favoritism to car dealers.

If special interests were smart, environmentalists should demand money for old bicyles, gardening tools, growing lamps, and for old Volvos.

Don't we get it? WE'RE BROKE!

All this money spent for junk cars and turtle tunnels is borrowed money.

According to the US Treasury , on 09/30/2008 we owed $10,024,724,896,912.49.  This does not count the empty Social Security and Medicare/Medicaid trust funds that were robbed and the money spent, while millions or retirees are depending on its support.

As Ross Perot so eloquently explained, " Larry, we're bankrupt and just don't know it."

Al Gore said one true thing......that we need a lock box to protect the trust funds.

It's time for taxpayers to rise up and smell the tea that is brewing.  

As long as we sit back and watch, the Obama movement will continue to siphon assets from producers and deposit them into the empty tanks of nonproducers, and then the label the public theft, compassion.
