cash for_____________, whats next

now that they have done cash for clunkers as in vehicles, whats next.

cash for my refrigerator?
cash for my airconditioner?
cash for my old windows?
cash for my lawn mower?
cash for the old sofa?

where does it stop?

guy on tv last nite said its like the government paying half the people to dig holes and the other half to fill them in.

thanks for spending my tax dollars on this you a holes in DC.

and to top it off the 2 brands that have sold the most under the program are kia and hyundai. both made in korea by non us people and using non us parts.

I suspected as much. Can you provide the article substantiating this? Not that I don't believe, I just want to forward it to all my ***commie, pansy, pant wetting, liberal, tax dodging, atheist friends*** to show them that their Great Leaders wonderful ideas hurt us more than help.

Before we become a citizen of a foreign country be default and without any say in the matter, I think I will start researching where in the world I can live and still own my guns and think and act independantly.

Until then, oh well.

i was thinking of going to montana until i saw thats where you are from and youre trying to escape. thats always been the go to place when it hits the fan.

i will look and see if i can find the hyundai kia being the no 1 and 2 sellers. i heard it on fox news this morning.

you would think that the POS POTUS would have put some stipulations in the deal but hes obviously has an agenda that is not on track to benefit working middle class americans. even the toyota and nissan that are so much of a % american parts built at american factories are better than completely 100% foreign.

Exactly!

What's even more sad is the majority don't realize it's just a disguise for more bailout money for the auto industry.

I believe I heard Obama say during his campaign that he needed to stimulate other countries economies as well as the US economy because we deal in a global market. So if other countries are doing bad that hurts the US as well (import/export).

That sounds good and all but for some reason I dont think selling more kia's and hyundai's is the way to do it. I think we are doing nothing more than stimulating the worlds economy as we are killing ourselves.

YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS STUFF UP!

who would have ever though even a year ago that it would come to this.

Glenn Beck was pleading on his show last night for people not to get violent. that we should protest and let our feelings be known is a peaceful manner.

Next will be cash for clunker light bulbs. Trade in your old clunker incandescents for those safer mercury-filled flourescents.
