So, “hope and change.” Uh-huh. Let’s take a look at the “hope.”
- The Boy Who Would Be King wants us to make all our homes “energy-efficient” before we can sell them. That puts me, a widow, in a precarious position. (Thank almighty God that I sold my home before this bill passes.) I couldn’t afford to make my home “energy efficient,” and I can’t afford this house, meaning I’d be in foreclosure within a year. After 15 years and thousands of dollars spent on trying to get it the way I like it, now I wouldn’t be able to sell it. This would insure my reliance on the government to “bail me out.” They’d have me right where they want me.
- If there was a market for tiny cars that got 70 mpg, there would be tiny cars that got 70 mpg. We are a profit-driven country. There’s no profit to be made in this kind of car, so the Boy Wonder has to offer a “prize.” Tell me exactly how a family of 5 would fit in one of those? Every time they had a family vacation, they’d have to take TWO cars, effectively cutting the gas mileage in half. I drive 60 miles a day round trip to work, two-thirds of that on expressways. My observation is that Americans like mid-size sedans, trucks, SUVs and mini-vans. They only tiny cars I see are two mini-Coopers. Wouldn’t want to be caught between two semis in a “Smart” car. We like to be SAFE!!!
- Government health care will ruin this country. Need a tiny operation so you don’t have to get up 12 times a night to pee? Tough luck. You’ll have to wait three years first. (Just ask Canadians.) My 90-year-old mother wouldn’t be deemed worthy of life if she became seriously ill, so they’d just let her die. Maybe she’d be lucky to get a morphine drip at home. What was it Yama said? I’ll find the right quote and get back to you.
- Climate change? CLIMATE CHANGE?!? What arrogance to think that humanity can change the climate of a planet. Last I heard the Earth had cooled a degree or two. I think God is laughing at them – here in New York, so far we’ve had the coldest rainiest summer since about 1992. Thirty years ago the alarmists were crying AN ICE AGE IS COMING!! Dear God, what morons. This is just an excuse to take more of our money.
- The “stimulus package” (which has stimulated nothing but anger and outrage) wasn’t enough?! They want more? I’m a moron, but some simple economics are necessary. Hey, Emperor Hussein, when taxes are cut, (a) people have more money to spend. (b) Buying more stuff means there’s a higher demand. (c) A higher demand means manufacturers have to hire more people. (d) When there are more people working, THERE ARE MORE TAXES BEING PAID. And thus goes the circle of life. Oh, yes. When you print money with nothing to back it up (like gold or silver), you get INFLATION!!!!! Get a clue, Barry!
It’s late and I have to get up at 5 a.m. Some of us work. More tomorrow…..
