Free Money from the federal government
BLOG UPDATE: The Senate is suppose to recess starting Monday. Unless they are working today (Saturday), they are probably all out of D.C. by now. Although I am not sure many Democrats really want to go back home—at least not back home to meet with their constituency. Have I read something about House Democrats having a hard time at constituency meetings since their recess? My schedule is full next week and since, with Congress adjourned, they can’t attempt anymore mischief and accomplish any more damage for a while, I have decided to take next week off too. I plan to post next on Monday morning August the 17th. Until then, if you have the opportunity, take time to talk to your Representative and Senators. I know they are anxious to hear from you.
NEWS FLASH: According to WGN TV News, Senator Charles Schumer of New York is warning of fraud in connection with the “Cash for Clunkers” giveaway. Meanwhile, a Peoria area automobile dealership is complaining of government red tape and slowness in being paid in relation to the same program. Who can believe such things? Fortunately, we know that none of these problems will occur with Nationalized Healthcare. Oh, by the way, I still have that bridge for sale in Arizona if you are interested!
FREE MONEY from the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT:
With the extension of the “Cash for Clunkers” giveaway, I think I now understand the economic policy of the libertine Democrats who control Congress and the White House. You’ll recall that yesterday (Friday) I posted this update:
“UPDATE on ‘Cash for Clunkers” Senate vote: I heard on the radio news Thursday evening that the Senate UNWISELY but not unexpectedly passed the extension for this “selected giveaway” program. The vote was 60-37 (I original had 38 here. The paper said it was 37. It couldn’t be wrong, could it?—my addition to the quote). I will try to find the names of the Senate spendthrifts who gave away our money and post them for the entire world to see. When do the rest of us get our $3,500-$4,500 financial payoff to buy our goods and services? I won’t even go into debt to purchase them!”
I haven’t found the actual vote yet. However, according to the Peoria Journal Star, August 7, 2009, page A5, four Democrats voted AGAINST the giveaway and seven Republicans voted FOR the giveaway. Of course, both of the Senators from Illinois—Senator Dick Durbin and Senator Roland Burris—voted to give away taxpayer money for the “good” of the nation.

Anyway, I haven’t and won’t benefit personally because, not only do I not own a gas guzzler—18 gallons or less, I don’t own an automobile. (Talk about trying to save the environment and yet I don’t get any government money!) However, here are the criteria that seem to be the guiding principles for these giveaways from what I can tell. There are three:
1) The giveaway must be of benefit to a group that politically supports libertine Democrats. In the case of the “Cash for Clunkers” giveaway, the group is the United Auto Workers (UAW) union. Of course, the giveaway also helps the newly acquired, government owned automobile companies—GM (Government Motors) and Chrysler. In the case of healthcare, both baby MURDERERS (such as Planned Murderhood—government paid for MURDER) and homosexuals (cover the costs involved in HIV/AIDS care and other sexually transmitted diseases) will benefit as the bills are currently written. By the way, in one House committee an amendment to specifically prevent the government from paying for the MURDER for unborn babies was passed by a 29-28 vote. However, it was reconsidered and a Democrat changed his vote. Consequently, on the second vote, the amendment was defeated 29-28. Do you think the libertine Democrats intent to cover the cost of a woman MURDERING her own child? You can count on it! If the bill passes as now written, the American people will be forced by law and practice to pay for the MURDER of unborn babies.
2) The giveaway must help those who have made poor economic decisions in the past. In the case of the “Cash for Clunkers” giveaway, people who originally purchased gas guzzlers rather than those who purchased more fuel efficient cars. In the case of healthcare, there is a whole plethora of people—alcoholics, baby MURDERERS (in general not in every case), drug addicts, the obese (in general not in every case), the sexually immoral who have sexually transmitted diseases, smokers, and similar individuals. The people of the nation will be forced to help finance their bad choices. And all of the above choices have economic ramifications and therefore can be considered to be, in part, bad economic choices. We do not live in boxes where our choices don’t have consequences in other areas of our lives. Okay, libertine Democrats live in boxes but most of us don’t.
3) The giveaway must “stimulate” the economy while increasing the national debt and/or taxes. The increase in the national debt is obvious since the cost of every new program not tied to new taxes must increase the national debt since we are already one trillion dollars ($1,000,000,000,000.00) and counting in the red this fiscal year. Anytime consumers spend money they are by definition “stimulating” the economy. The “Cash for Clunkers” program certainly has people buying cars who may have postponed the purchase. Of course, as I said before, unless they borrow money, those automobile purchases will prevent them from making purchases in other areas because, at this point in time, their supply of money is limited. Spending $10,000 dollars of your own money for a new car means you don’t have $10,000 to spend on other goods and services. (Someday, I hope libertine Democrats will actually figure this out. However, I doubt it!) Thus, in most cases these individuals are not only spending their money, as well as our money (taxpayer provided money through generous Democrats and a few Republicans), they are also probably going into debt or further into debt.
The above leads to the following proposal for Congress’s consideration (probably considered and passed in three days or less) when they come back from their recess as it also follows the three above criteria:
If Congress really wants to stimulate the economy, this is my proposal: Give every individual or couple who goes bankrupt from now till the end of the year a new lease on their economic life—give them $20,000 in “start-over” money. Think about it! People on the verge of bankruptcy tend not to spend money. Thus, they tend not to “stimulate” the economy. If we encourage them to go bankrupt by providing $20,000 in “stimulus” money, they wipe out their debts. Of course, someone loses that money but that’s not a big problem. That’s exactly what the federal government did to the creditors of General Motors with the complicity of the bankruptcy court and the government got ownership along with the UAW and the Canadian government of a major automobile company. (See criterion one above.) Once they are out of bankruptcy, with a fresh $20,000 in cash, they have all the incentive needed to start spending again! Since some of them are bound to be libertine supporters, and since, in general, most people are on the verge of bankruptcy because of bad economic choices, and since they have a $20,000 incentive to “stimulate” the economy, this proposal meets all of the three criteria and is sure to be hailed as a bang-up success story for the Barack Hussein Obama Administration!
Don’t you think? Don’t you think this will be an even greater success than “Cash for Clunkers?” Think of the “stimulation” possible with this program! Isn’t it MARVELOUS!
