Another Enormous Waste

How many really stupid moves does it take to teach a politician to be responsible? Oh, just a few trillion... Every idiotic plan the Democrats come up with is so loaded with "unintended consequences", pitfalls, errors, waste, and disasters that you'd think they might have caught on by now and started using the Constitution instead of fanciful notions. Of course it hasn't worked that way yet.

"Cash for Clunkers" is their latest form of insanity. They went through almost a billion dollars in four days. Wow, that's even quick for them, huh? They're so busy pouring our tax money down every drain they can find on crazy schemes that are doomed to fail because of poor planning (or no planning at all) that they don't have a clue how to stop it.

July was a big month for car companies, even before "Cash for Clunkers" started. If, instead of dumping all that money on the car companies earlier, couldn't they have just sent out checks to the taxpayers? More people would have bought cars, more dealers could have stayed in business, more people would have kept their jobs at every level of the automobile industry.

Since the latest foolishness is such a failure, they'll be taking more money from the "porkulus" project (probably not from research into why pigs stink, of course) and forget more of those "shovel ready" jobs that didn't exist to begin with.

If they'd given OUR money back to us, instead of blowing it on their pet pork, the economy would have started recovering a long time ago.

Does anyone in their right mind expect the government to be able to manage their health care any better than they've done anything else?

  1. S.L. I am going to surprise you by answering yes the government is going to run health care very efficiently, they know what they are doing.

    Too bad it is a new way of population control, by killing all the sickly old people that are receiving expensive medical care that they so rightly deserve.

    They are going to abort the unborn to keep them off health care. They are going to kill people coming and and going out.

    All that will be left is healthy people that don't need medical care and if they do that might be the last thing they as the government for.
