The Biggest Clunker of Clunkers for Cash

So the good news, then the bad news.

The Good News:

Finally something that might be able to call "Stimulus" which is not in the magical wonderful stimulus package! It's not entirely stimulus, but it's the first evidence or piece of something that shows some shred of stimulus. In other words, it's the first little tiny bit of money which allegedly has gotten into hands of the people in this country. The other stuff called "Stimulus" in the past everyone has given up on and is slowly realizing what it really was. So, if this was real stimulus though, it would not be conditional. Many raced to car dealerships to trade in their "clunkers" or to try to apply for this program. If someone was lucky enough to qualify, could they buy any car of their choice? No. So how is that stimulus. Many families needed a car with enough seats to seat their children and families, they quickly found out that they were forced to choose a small economical car with few seats. But for the families that qualified and found a car they could be satisfied with, this was finally some money back in their pockets. For them, you can call this stimulus. If it was real stimulus, how about giving people money back or a rebate of some kind for real things such as food, clothing, things that are needed in a bad economy. And no way in hell is it over. When you see Newsweek stating that the economy is over, isn't that proof enough the state of our media and the deceit and corruption.

The Bad News:

So the federal government implemented this program Clunkers for Cash. It took only 4 days for us to find out how capable our federal government is at succeeding at anything. The biggest joke, is this was a measley chump change program, maybe a billion dollars at most. It took 4 days, and the federal government ran out of money in this program. They continually demonstrate that they don't know what they're doing, they can't get anything right. Why do the citizens of this country still believe that our federal government can get anything right? Why do they still believe that the federal government should change or touch anything? Every time the federal government has meddled in something, they have screwed it up with several consequences: Taking away our freedoms, stealing more of our money, wasting it, causing the poor people to remain poorer, causing the middle class to be in misery, never able to get ahead. Then the federal government denies responsibility for the mess, and claim they need to reform it. Look at the health industry. Kennedy implemented HMO's a long time ago, most corrupt system that didn't work. Then he said we needed to reform it, then we have had health insurance reform every year after. The housing industry was destroyed by the federal government through Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, yet they deny it. The federal government is responsible for oil and increase in gas prices with their taxes on it, and regulations. They now own automotive companies, what do you think will happen. This program really was a subsidy to help their new company, Government Motors, but it backfired. Instead they are helping their competitors such as Toyota.

So the biggest clunker that is polluting our world and our lives, is the federal government of the United States. How about we trade that in for cash. I'm playing with the words here. But seriously, if the citizens would wake up and fight back, we need to seriously change the big clunker, the federal government to how it should be. If we fail to do so, the economy will continue to falter in spite of all of us trying to avert the disasters of everything the government touches.
