I don&#8217;t know, but if they don&#8217;t stop sometime our currency won&#8217;t be worth the paper it&#8217;s printed on&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>At first I thought this new administration was off to a good start, but, when it came out that we are financing bonus&#8217;s for CEO&#8217;s of bankrupt corporations, I have to wonder&#8230;..  How could anyone deserve a bonus when the company they work for is bankrupt?&#8230;..  Someone explain that one to me, please?&#8230;..  And, we&#8217;re not talkin&#8217; a few dollars, we&#8217;re talkin&#8217; bonus&#8217;s that most of us could live the rest of our lives on by working only when we felt like it&#8230;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Then there&#8217;s the auto industry &#8211; not only do we bail them out, we are financing the &#8220;cash for clunkers&#8221; program&#8230;..  I don&#8217;t have the time or the space to detail all the requirements that your so-called &#8220;clunker&#8221; and the new car you are buying must meet to get the $4,500, but, believe me, the &#8220;clunker&#8221; can&#8217;t be something you just dragged out of a salvage yard&#8230;..  Yet, they&#8217;ve went through a billion dollars so far, and extended the program for another two billion!!!!  If we are in such a recession, where are people getting the money to buy new cars?&#8230;.. New cars are not cheap even with a $4,500 rebate, and, you are talking about a complicated set of rules to qualify for the rebate&#8230;&#8230;  Where is the money really going?&#8230;&#8230;  You throw in the fact that quite a few of the rebates will only be $3,500, you are talking close to 750,000 new car sales for the government&#8217;s 3 billion dollar program&#8230;..  Like the Senator that wanted an accounting of the first billion that disappeared so far, I would like to see some accounting of the whole program myself&#8230;..  Yeah, what&#8217;s the chance in that?&#8230;..  A snowball in Hell?&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>I haven&#8217;t even touched on the closings of over a hundred Post Offices (It&#8217;s more important for that CEO to get his bonus than it is for you to get your mail), or, the Medical Care programs&#8230;&#8230;  The outlook is not good&#8230;&#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>I recommend everyone buy themselves a supply of wallpaper paste, because at this rate it won&#8217;t be long before the American greenback will be good for nothing except papering you walls with &#8211; if you still have a house with walls to live in&#8230;&#8230;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Just how many greenbacks are the current administration going to print and pass out to questionable entities in the name of &#8220;Bail-Out&#8221;?&#8230;..
