Whether you bought one or not, you're $4.59 poorer after Cash for Clunkers.
No, seriously. That's your share as a citizen of the net economic loss from the program. Heck if you do it just by taxpayers, it's about double that.
The program only cost $3 billion (only!) and yet economists have determined it actually resulted in a loss of wealth of $1.4 billion.
Way to go, Congressional Douchebags! Great job, President Panderer!
Now, consider "Health Care Reform:"
The "Smartest President in History" is trying to sell the Democrap's "reform" plan as a way to boost our economy. Based on the trial-run with Clunkers, let's just say I'm less than optimistic.
What if the Beltway Bandits' plan ends up looking like Cash for Clunkers. Projected to cost $1 trillion over the next ten years, at the same rate of loss, creeping socialism will cost us all almost $500 billion.
I know I've got that much stuff in my sock drawer. It's right next to my collection of decade-old Playboy and last year's Hustler, how 'bout you?
Let's be nice to the brain-dead in Washington. Say it's only a loss of $300 billion. At that rate, every American is slated to lose $1,000. Again, make it just taxpayers, and it's much closer to $2,000 per person lost over the next ten years.
Let's see... I have health insurance. I pay my taxes and my bills, and at the end of the day I have enough money to buy gas to get to and from work and eat the Bachelor Chow from the frozen foods section of the discount grocery store. Over the next ten years, the President wants me to essentially go hungry for one month each year so I can pay into his welfare socialism scheme.
Yeah, I'll give a big "fuck-off" to that.
According to Bill "Linda Tripp Hater" Clinton, the Vast Right Wing ConspiracyTM is alive and well and attacking President Obama.
"It's not as strong as it was because America has changed demographically, but it's as virulent as it was," Clinton said today on NBC's "Meet the Press."Seems that President Cigar Lover thinks that President Panderer's situation will turn out differently, because he has a "Positive AgendaTM" for the country.
"I mean they may be hurting President Obama," Bill Clinton said of the current attacks. "They can take his numbers down, they can run his opposition up, but fundamentally he and his team have a positive agenda for America. Their agenda seems to be wanting him to fail, and that's not a good prescription for a good America.I take it, then, that Mr. Assault Weapons Ban failed to pass his healthcare plan because he didn't have a Positive AgendaTM? His words, not mine.
But, Clinton said, the current situation will not lead to a "repeat of 1994", when Democrats lost 15 seats in the House for the first time in 40 years, crippling progress on his administration's agenda. "There's no way they can make it that bad, for several reasons," Clinton said.You mean the "diverse" voting block put in place by vote fraud groups like ACORN? The block that includes illegal aliens and the Dallas Cowboys offensive line?
For one, he said, "The country is more diverse and interested in positive action.
"Mean" Eugene Green (Douchebag, TX) is shivering with fear like a stack of commie-red jello slices on a subway seat at the idea that people might get upset at the thought of the healthcare high-jack he supports. He's such a sissy he doesn't want any of them anywhere near him, so he's going to keep those paid Republican protesters who get bussed in from out of district out of his Town Hall meeting. You see, old "Meany" is going to check photo IDs to prevent people who are not allowed to vote in his district from attending his precious Town Hall.
Lookee here.
Town hall meetings are one of my favorite ways to communicate with constituents. I have held hundreds during my years of service in Congress and always welcomed everyone to attend. Unfortunately, due to a coordinated effort to disrupt our town hall meetings, we will be restricting further attendance to residents of the 29th Congressional District and verifying residency by requiring photo identification. Whether individuals agree or disagree, we must maintain order to have a civil discussion of the issues. While I regret this restriction, it is necessary for the safety and consideration of our constituents. Those who do not reside in the 29th Congressional should contact their Member of Congress to voice any concerns that they may have on issues before Congress.
We are even better when we keep it under 140 characters.
