Nothing is Free…….

And I do mean nothing.

Take the “Cash for Clunkers” initiative that the government passed to stimulate new car purchases. Sounds great right? You bring in an old car or truck that gets poor gas mileage and trade it in for higher mileage new vehicle. Under this program the dealership turns in your old “clunker” to be destroyed. It can’t even be cannibalized for spare parts at a junkyard. The dealer gets $3,500 to $4,500 for this service from the government. The dealership then can pass the deal onto you. Chrysler is even doubling the offer so you could feasibly get $9,000 off the price of a new car. Chrysler! Who we already gave billions of our tax dollars to. We already have to pay for that!

How could this be a bad idea on so many levels?

1) When the government gives money to anyone whether it’s the Indians, the homeless, even the foreign aide given out to every other country in the world. It comes out of your pocket period. This is an undeniable fact.

2) With the government owning a huge portion of Chrysler, isn’t it a little fishy that Chrysler alone is doubling the government’s cash offer? Isn’t this double dipping just a deeper grab into your pocket as a tax payer?

3) What about if you buy a high mileage car that was built in a foreign country? Are our tax dollars now going overseas?

4) And the ultimate hidden cost. The loss of tax revenue for the states. Every single state in this country depends on tax revenue from the gas pumps to pay for road repairs and other state budget needs. In some states it’s as high as $.50 (fifty cents) per gallon. If all of a sudden automobiles get twice the gas mileage as they used to, all of our states will be looking at massive budget shortfalls. The states will have to increase their tax rolls somehow. The federal government won’t bail the states out. Look at California for an example. So the feds have now made the states the "Bad Guys" for having to raise taxes.

How many spoons full of sugar does it take to make this poisonous medicine go down?

Kinda makes Mary Poppins look like Satan doesn’t it?

My Hidden Motives……..

I have to make a confession here.

I am a sneaky bastard.

I post some pretty goofy stuff on my blog. Some of it is downright deranged. I do it on purpose. The idea is to capture your imagination to show you I am nuts, and to also slip in some pretty important thoughts that I have. Some are profound like the glow in the dark toilet I invented or the hidden planet in outer space made of Velveeta cheese.

My real purpose is to try and pry a few important thoughts into your brain.

We are witnessing the dismantling of The United States of America as we know it. Our government is being changed and destroyed in front of our eyes and the smoke screens that the news media and government are creating have us all hoodwinked.

When the president appoints any cabinet member they are required by the constitution to be ratified by the Senate. The last two presidents have appointed “Czars” to oversee certain portions of our government. Bush appointed five or six. Obama has appointed over 40. These people are not approved by either house of congress and are responsible only to the president himself. Read that last line again. It’s so important that you have to understand it. It’s your job as an American, or seventy years ago a good little German soon to be a Nazi.

I don’t care if you smoked dope, drank, screwed, or slept your way through high school. You should have paid just a little attention in your American and world history classes.

Sooner than you think the government may be telling you what doctor to go to, how much money you can make, where you can live, what you can tell your children and maybe even how many children you can, or are required to have. You may need papers to travel somewhere on vacation, permission to use gasoline for recreational purposes (boats, RV,s etc.) and face stiff fines or even incarceration (jail time) for speaking out against these atrocities.

These things are happening already around the world today as we speak in one country or another. We better wake up or these terrible conditions may happen here.

And you thought I was only going to blog about alien abductions and anal probes…..
