A Different View of "Cash for Clunkers"

What a delightful worm job the U.S. Congress has initiated this time. They had to bail out the car companies because that meant saving union jobs. Unions are blind soldiers to the Democrats. Deep pockets in those workies, union dues and contributing heavily to the cause, makes for a pricey payback. Economy be damned. BTW--props and thanks go out to funny or die dot com for supplying this lovely viddy for you.


Like any free market enterprise, which fell on its face, they should all have been left to fail. However, all bonuses, dividends, property, villas, planes, and even black books of the hookers, should have been seized and GIVEN AWAY TO ALL THE LINE WORKERS WHO BUSTED THEIR ASSES AND GOT SCREWED BY THE AVARICE AND GREED OF THOSE WHO MOVED THE CHESS PIECES.


All company assets, including these vermin CEO's, get liquidated like a juicer and the carion gets appraised and given out to the workers. Half a loaf is better than no loaf and the taxpayers get spared. Just makes too much sense, eh?

Don't think for one minute that I am "empathizing" for either side of these rotten fence posts. Unions abused their power, had to be crushed by Ed Meese and company because of the disgusting organized crime element, and how about this "job bank?" The company was an idiot for accepting it and the unions were callous for even proposing it.

What a publicly traded company does with their spoils is their business. If they want planes, trains, automobiles, call girls, who cares? When its the taxpayer subsidzing these nefarious people and their vulgar avarices, then they take the train to work, car pool, and soil cheap hotels with trailer trash girls.

Now to these morons in Congress. Besides the human weaknesses and total incompetence of both union and company, the government has been dictating how to build cars for quite some time. Google about and see how the types, sizes, MPG, features, etc., neatly correspond to who is polluting the Capitol.

Do you know how expensive it is to re-tool your factory and assembly line operations, every four or eight years, in order to appease the odious special interests, who want the automobile in line with their idealogies? Who the hell ever thought of E-check anyway? This controlling party wants big ones, the other whackos want some sardine can that I could never get my fat ass into, unless I had a crowbar.

Couple that with incessant pressures from the bluehairs upstairs, who have to maintain their five beemers, 10K per month for wifey or mistress, or always bailing their spoiled brat kids out of some legal jam, and you have a great start for the dissolution of a company. An icon of Americana flushed down the tubes because each side only cares about buggering the other, and those mindless twits in D.C. only care about their upcoming re-election campaign coffers. You don't want me at your next town hall meeting. I am available as a keynote speaker at tea parties.

If gasoline were brains, Congress couldn't pilot an ant's go cart around the head of a pin. Congress couldn't hit water if they fell out of a boat. That reminds me of a story. My dearly departed uncle, a lifelong auto mechanic, who dropped F bombs quicker than an Uzi shoots a dealer, retired because of the metric system.

"Bleepin god damn bleepin tools.......I gotta spend 2 grand (1970) on these friggin' things.....16 mm., 5 eighths, 10 mm., 3 eighths.....I never made it out of the seventh grade and they expect me to read these conversions tables? My cheaters aren't built for this bleepin' g.d. s***."

The kicker kicked in one 95 degree day. While installing an exhaust system, pure genius took over. The threads on one side of the clamp were standard american. THE THREADS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE U CLAMP WERE FREAKIN' METRIC.

Know what his answer was to the "computer diagnostic machine, a.k.a. scope"? He took a dowel, broom stick or pool cue, pressed it to the lobe of his ear, and listened to where the ticking or tapping was. Never had a problem. Old ways are right ways.....Old ways are best ways.....right right?? Right right.

When his dementia got semi-intense, we took his Cutlass away. My dad noticed that his brother did not have a rear-view mirror. "How long have you been driving without a rear-view?" About six weeks was his reply. To which I inquired, "why?"

"Your pappy and me finally figured it out after 70 years of driving..............You gotta see where the F you're going..........Nobody gives a F***where you've been." Can't argue with that logic.
