Random thoughts ...
Here's some ideas that make one nauseous.
Each and every one of Obama's cash for clunkers really cost us $24,000. How do I get to that number? If you take all the cars that were sold and for which $4,000 was forked over that were going to be replaced within the 12 months following and removed them from the clunker pool -- i.e., they did not "stimulate" purchases, only moved inevitable ones forwards, then take the billions and allot them to the remaining cars (about 124,000 according to Edmunds), you get about $24k per car. How do I know what number was going to be replaced anyway within the 12 months? From the owners themselves who have been polled numerous times. And why would they lie ... they were getting a government gift?!!
Gee, thanks Barry-O for stimulating those sphincters over at GMC. And, of course, GNP for the third quarter was boosted by 1.7%, showing that we are "out of the recession." That makes the Dems look good, and gets everyone into the psychological position to start lending and spending again ... and it is psychology ... consumer confidence that will actually make it start again. But what happens when the 4th quarter rolls around and the stimulus crap rolls off? We get a "W" recession. The reality, of course, is that we are still in one and unemployment continues to rise. But these cretins in DC and the liberal press choose to look at it differently: a con, if there ever was one.
What else is bugging me? Hmmm. How about a 1990 page health care bill that is about to unload another couple of trillion dollars of debt. Under Bush, the deficit was going to be staggering ... as the Dems pointed out constantly. $400 billion. But under Obama, in the space of one year, it became $1.4 trillion. More deficit than all the Presidents in the history of the U.S. have been able to amass combined. In one year. Change? Is that the frikking change that the left wants? To see us all in the poor house??????
How about H1N1 ... and the complete bungling of this by Obama. Sure it started under Bush, but Obama totally screwed the pooch on this: there is no damn vaccine available, even for high risk individuals. I heard three doctors in Boston on the radio today complaining that they have been completely unable to locate ANY for themselves and their own families, let alone their patients. The CDC knew that this was bad as soon as it showed its ugly head last year. And yet ... prisoners in penitentiaries are getting vaccinated ... but my kids can't. ARE WE TOTALLY OUT OF OUR MINDS? Mr. President, the buck stops on your desk. Man up. If you can.
