Confused

I recently saw some ads by the EPA to encourage people to buy diesel powered vehicles to save zillions of gallons of barrels of oil each year.

However, looking at the CARS program, if one trades in their old diesel truck, 3/4 or 1 ton, you cannot get another diesel of the same capacity. In fact you have to get a 1/2 ton gass guzzler instead.

Who the hell put these numb nutz in charge?

Can you provide a ULR to this info? I'd like to read it, but I'm way too lazy to research it if I don't have to...

The same numb-nuts who did the 'cash for klunkers' program. I'm starting a new program: 'Cash for Congress' where you contribut to someone who will run against these idiots to get them out of office.

Anyone stop to think just how much we are indebiting our next generation with this massive load of Democrat crap?

I thought about it . Its about $150,000 of debt per person in the US. Born or not.

The sad part is that they've (Washington) has not even gotten started. At least three more years of their giving away tax dollars, running up the debt, and trying to make eveyone think they are above average.

That makes sense........sorta...... the new diesels have so much emissions crap on them that they don't get the mileage that the older diesels do. A lot of the "green" movement is just garbage that looks good, but in reality doesn't make sense, and costs more money.

Not compared to the older ones. Even the newer ones still put out less pollution.

Perhaps your vote? This is the cost of an ignorant voting public. Steve

Just think of all the trillions of debt to leave to our kids.

I can't prove it, of course. But I suspect major vote fraud.

But, the democrats are telling us that fully half the people in the US are currently below average financially! Fully half, and they (the democrats) intend to do something about it...

Well, you and I were saddled with the Social Security Ponzi scam, so this is nothing new.

Personally I think that most people were just too sucker and believed the crap that was given to them.

I see more and more people either scraping off their Obama stickers or covering them with something else. His approval rating is dropping, but the bottom line, we need to have an approval rating for his teleprompter because that is what is running the country, not Obama. Face it, he has not one qualification to be president, no experience in business or politics, just a radical viewpoint.

Funny how you don't see many Obama stickers on cars that are being driven to work...

Same here. I is not my fault. I did not vote.

But seriously, I am pissed. When did it become my responsibility to help pay for someone else car, house, business, kids, school supplies, etc. I live alone. Make all my payments on my house. Paid off my truck (2003 Silverado) years ago. Paid off my motorcycle (1998 Valkyrie) years ago. Keep both in excellent working condition. Pay all my other bills in a timely manner, even if it means I cant go out bar hopping every night. Have stuck to a job I hate for 23+ years now to stay self sufficient.

I am freaking tired of paying for everyone else!!!

And I bet there is NO Obama sticker on your Silverado, too!

Well, 3 billion for the give people cars program, let's see, that's about *HOW MUCH* for each tax payer?

Suddenly, without warning, Stormin Mormon exclaimed (8/5/2009 5:02 PM):

Sadly, no. What I saw from personal experience was a lot of reverse discrimination. I was told by one Black man at work, "I had to vote for him because he is black!".

Voting for someone because they are black is just as bad as not voting for someone because he is. And the thing everyone conveniently forgets, is Obama is only half black...

I admit, though I didn't vote for either of the bozos the media picked for us, I was willing to give him a chance. He's had his chance, and blown it badly. As has congress, which is doing a much worse job than Obama, IMHO.

And, yes, I vote. AND, I write my congressmen and women regularly - and amazingly, even get replies back sometimes!

These days, voting isn't good enough. Educate yourself on the issues, then tell your congressmen/women what you think. They're supposed to be working for *you*, it doesn't hurt to remind them of that.

A new twist, to an old story!

THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER

This one is a little different... Two Different Versions! Two Different Morals!

OLD VERSION: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building his house and laying up supplies for the winter.

The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and plays the summer away.

Come winter, the ant is warm and well fed.

The grasshopper has no food or shelter, so he dies out in the cold.

MORAL OF THE STORY: Be responsible for yourself!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MODERN VERSION: The ant works hard in the withering heat all summer long, building hishouse and laying up supplies for the winter. The grasshopper thinks the ant is a fool and laughs and dances and playsthe summer away. Come winter, the shivering grasshopper calls a press conference anddemands to know why the ant should be allowed to be warm and well fed whileothers are cold and starving. CBS, NBC , PBS, CNN, and ABC show up to provide pictures of the shiveringgrasshopper next to a video of the ant in his comfortable home with a tablefilled with food. America is stunned by the sharp contrast. How can this be, that in a country of such wealth, this poor grasshopperis allowed to suffer so? Kermit the Frog appears on Oprah with the grasshopper, and everybodycries when they sing, 'It's Not Easy Being Green.' Jesse Jackson stages a demonstration in front of the ant 's house wherethe news stations film the group singing, 'We shall overcome.' Jesse thenhas the group kneel down to pray to God for the grasshopper's sake. Nancy Pelosi & John Kerry exclaim in an interview with Larry King thatthe ant has gotten rich off the back of the grasshopper, and both call foran immediate tax hike on the ant to make him pay his fair share. Finally, the EEOC drafts the Economic Equity & Anti-Grasshopper Actretroactive to the beginning of the summer. The ant is fined for failing to hire a proportionate number of green bugsand, having nothing left to pay his retroactive taxes, his home isconfiscated by the government. The story ends as we see the grasshopper finishing up the last bits ofthe ant's food while the government house he is in, which just happens to bethe ant's old house, crumbles around him because he doesn't maintain it. The ant has disappeared in the snow. The grasshopper is found dead in a drug related incident and the house,now abandoned, is taken over by a gang of spiders who terrorize the oncepeaceful neighborhood. MORAL OF THE STORY: Be VERY careful how you vote in 2010.

You left out the part where the government told the ant how free he was!
