Cash for Clunkers is nothing more than a political smokescreen. The Democrats as usual are deceiving Americans by creating the illusion that this ridiculous program is turning our floundering economy around. 

Hopefully, few are going to buy into this political maneuvering, but chances are many will not see the forest for the trees. Even some economists are taking the Obama bait and jumping on his bandwagon. 

What is really happening in this Cash for Clunkers mirage? Could it be a repeat of the not too distant mortgage frenzy? Who is really the beneficiaries of the Clunker program, is it the consumers, the banks or the car manufacturers?

Americans beware; (1) You’re paying for this program out of pocket, (2) Many of your fellow citizen who are participating in this will lose their jobs and homes, (3) The car manufacturers will increase production and 6 months down the road they’ll be crying wolf again and standing at our door with their handout, and (4) Americans will be asked to pick up the pieces. 

Don’t get too excited when you hear the words “Cash for Clunkers,” because it’s here today and we’ll pay twice for it tomorrow.

If Mr. Obama and friends want to improve our economy, they need to attend to the housing situation and create some jobs that have a long shelf life. The so called mortgage assistance promised to us, turned out to be a farce, which is usual for this group of people. 

Millions of home owners that weren’t connected to Freddie or Fannie are as we speak declaring bankruptcy or having their homes foreclosed. It seems that the Obama Administration has a real problem getting their priorities straight. The Cash for Clunkers is a perfect example of this!

Hey, America are we there yet? Did we pack our bags, but forgot our children? Maybe our complacency and busyness the past 20 plus years caused a short circuit in our Nation’s once strong and resilient foundation. Some of us missed the warning signs in the road and ignored the under construction warnings and lived in a fantasy world full of “things and more things.”

For those who aren’t sure where our next stop may be – it’s beginning to look a lot like socialism,  Obamanism or a man who thinks he’s a “God” of some sorts? Call it whatever, the bottomline is the government is going to have their hands in our pie, distributing the pieces as they see fit. We will become the workabees without a voice and receive a pittance according to the work that we do…

Once again, the question remains the same, “Hey, America are we there yet?”

For many who have lost their homes, jobs and American dream the answer will be yes.

Others are counting the months, days and hours until their pink slip arrives. Millions reached their destination many moons ago; they are the ones who have learned to work the system. They’re the Obamanatics or chosen ones!

This group or groups of people are perfectly content to take their little pea pot and stand by the government’s backdoor waiting for more freebies – many of these people can work, should work and won’t work, because for them it’s a way of life. 

Yet there are a bloody few who are laughing all the way to the bank and have been on the fast train to socialism for decades. They are the meddlers who have via our news media peddled us a bunch of ---- for years. Collectively they are a group of disgruntled people who should have been sent to sea in rowboats without paddles. 

These people (the meddlers) slowly, but surely took America’s voice and rights away. Our educational system, the role reversal between parents and children, our right to pray or to mention God in public are but a few of the obvious ruthless changes made over a span of 40 plus years.  By the way the peddlers refer to our government, Supreme Court and much of our news media.- it’s their job to brainwash us.   

The vision was a bigger government spreading the wealth in what is called a glorious system of redistribution. These meddlers are trying to create a nation of slaves without a voice, a life or a future for their children. The peddlers (Liberal news media) are no longer journalists, but con-men and women on a devious mission. We are undergoing a reconstruction at this time in our society. 

For those who think I’m on a soapbox and idly blowing smoke, please take the time to look around.  The president promised transparency in our government – the Obama team passed a trillion dollar economic recovery package and most of us don’t have a clue how our money is being spend. What we do know is a large amount of money spent will never be paid back to the citizens of America. 

Remember the idle promises about creating jobs and assuring us that unemployment would stay below 8%. But millions of Americans are without jobs, homes being lost and their future is looking dismal.   Unemployment is probably over 13 or 14% at this time, because many people who couldn’t find jobs have quit looking for employment and aren’t being counted. 

The much touted Obama assistance for homeowners was a farce and many of us know when we hear the enthusiasm about home sales being up – the flip side of this is rental properties are being deserted, bankruptcies are at an all time high and homes are being repossessed like flies on an old pig. 

The cap and trade bill is being jammed down our throats and our utilities are starting to skyrocket, so here we go again, no job, higher energy bills and some scuttlebutt about some dude called an energy inspector knocking at our door. 

Obama had an ad plastered all over the Web asking mothers to get more schooling.  Moms can’t afford child care, let alone take time out for school; they’re too busy trying to find food for the next meal. 

The Obama Health bill has been waylaid for a short time only – this will be one more feather in his pocket if it is passed. The government will take full possession of the health bill and it will be laden with pork crap when and if it flies. Much like Acorn doing the census, Obama‘s friends will be in charge of our health and that’s more than a little scary.   . 

The horrid little Obama laundry list of promises could fill a book. But, one thing we do know as a general rule this soft shoe, theatrical genius very seldom says what he means when talking to the Nation. 

The one thing that Obama and his teleprompter had right was his famous comment about  spreading the wealth.  He, Pelosi, Reid and Dodd along with other Democrats are making sure that our wealth is being spread as we sleep at night!

We’re not there yet, but we’re sure getting close enough to feel the heat of “socialism.”

1. Big government – definite signs of government ownerships with some lending institutions and car manufacturers
2. Spreading the wealth – more taxation, loss of America’s voice, giving out freebies to those who aren’t US citizens.
3. How many middle class citizens believed Mr. Obama when he promised no taxes for our middleclass sector?

He sleeps with the enemy, plays patty cake with the terrorists, drinks beer and plays “God” to our policeman and his Acorn friends.   This man we call Obama has us by the seat of the pants and like or not he’s giving us a bird’s eye view of big government.   As Always, Annie

 

Altho the "Cash for Clunkers" is making headlines and the news media is having a hayday oohing and ahing about the economic benefits, this is another ridiculous Democratic ploy headed for the pits!  This Obama creation "Cash for Clunkers" is only another feeble last fling to distract Americans, economists and Republican leaders. 

What is happening at this time is a parallel to the Freddy and Fannie mess that the Democrats created when they instructed lending institutions to lend money for homes to those with bad credit, no credit and no jobs. 

Who is actually benefiting from this ridiculous farce?  The automobile manufacturers probably would be first in line to raise their hands, some of them are elated and consider this icing on the cake after the bailout monies they've received.  The new car owner might come in second, but he or she may find that in the not too distant future they have been the victims of another government scam. 

Questions to ponder: (1) How many of the people utilizing the "Cash for Clunkers" program have the credit and job security to warrant purchasing a new car, (2) Why are we throwing more monies to the auto manufacturers, and (3) Who is really paying for this "Cash for Clunkers" program.  After you answered the above questions, you may just feel like throwing up....

The Democrats have blind sided us once again; we're the victims and our pocketbooks are dwindling.  It would behoove all of America to demand an accounting of monies spent thus far from the Obama economic recovery plan and lastly we need to see the original economic package and then make a decision if we in fact want to proceed with a bill that is laden with pork barrel requests and promises.

Is it the way he combs his hair, brushes his teeth and smiles or are Americans so in sensitized to lies and propaganda that they just don’t care anymore. Only Obama has the nerve to stand up and spew lies like a used car salesman and only Obama would have the nerve to tell Americans that his 787 billion stimulus plan is working as intended.

Does he really think we believe that the economic stimulus plan is creating jobs, helping those losing their home and stimulating economy? 

My guess is that Joe Biden would let it all hang out if he were allowed to speak to us on National TV – Joe way down deep inside seems to have a little bit of honesty and compassion locked up in his heart. 

Joe might stumble around with the words and try to make a “funny,” but he’s tried in his own floundering way to give us an inkling of problems in the White House.

On July 5^th 2009, Joe Biden started paving the way for Obama and gang’s big mistake and in his not too subtle way said on NBC’s

This Week, “9.5 percent unemployment rate is much too high. The administration had predicted unemployment would stay below 8 percent with its stimulus plan.”

During this same interview, he questioned if the stimulus package was the right one! As he rambled on, Biden briefly made mention that a second stimulus package may be necessary, which is what his teleprompter told him to say.  Joe's job is to prepare us for another Democratic spending binge.  So, it’s obvious Joe would like to speak up, but his handlers have him under lock and key.

When Joe Biden was questioned about jobs and the promises for jobs, he did the proverbial Obama sidestep and quickly defended the Obama administration by saying jobs would be arriving in the coming months. What does Obama and gang think the millions of Americans without jobs will survive in the interim?

Today as I listened to the news, it was one more day of gloom and doom. Like our fanny, everyone has an opinion on the spiraling economic recession. We hear, bail out, don’t bail out, help some, don’t help others, keep giving injections to the lending institutions, don’t help the Big 3, help the Big 3, but none of these experts answer the bottom line questions. 

To top it all off, Mr. Obama is flaunting his economic stimulus plan, which is one more reason he should not be leading our country. If anyone wants to research Mr. Obama’s misuse of our money, just check out his Senate record, the many government grants and piggy requests that have his name written all over them via his radical friends. 

One other example of poor leadership is his choice of the lady chosen for Homeland Security – hey, I live in Arizona and can personally state that although she’s a nice lady, she has about as much business in this position as “Miss Piggy.” Americans need someone who is qualified to protect our backside – she’ll be in charge of border patrol, Federal Emergency management, Secret Service and doesn’t have a track record worth two cents when it comes to our security. 

That’s what I keep trying to talk with Americans about – leadership qualifications aren’t based on who’s the nicest, the most eloquent speaker or color of skin.   

·        Why are we bailing anyone out – many Americans have already lost their savings, jobs and homes and no one is helping them?

·        Why are we helping some lending institutions and not others?

·        Will the taxpayers get the bail out money back and if so at what interest rate and where will that money go when it’s repaid – I bet we’ll never see it!

·        Why do we give institutions like AIG and Citibank one injection of money after another – what are they doing with our money?

·        Does anyone really know how to jumpstart our economy or is the bail out money just a band aid and not a permanent solution?

·        When will the government stop this exploratory surgery that’s inevitably going to devaluate our money?

·        Why didn’t the government pull in a team of the top economists to assist Americans during this economic recession?

·        Who is tracking our money that these institutions have received – how are they using our money?

·        When will the government stop with their injections and start correcting our immediate problems?  Such as making those responsible for our economic mess responsible. We need to set up a separate holding facility for those who have blatantly destroyed the American Dream.

Needless to say our list of questions would fill a book and no one seems to have an answer! Question for all Americans – can we fire these people in the White House and replace them with some good old American Boys and Girls who believe in their country, families and honest government?

What’s wrong with repealing the earmarks that were hidden in the first bail out bill?  

These earmarks only accentuate the reason Americans have lost their trust in their government. 

Reluctantly we agreed to go forward with the bail out package, but no one told us it would be stuffed full of earmarks. Pelosi, Frank, Dodd and Reid wonder why we don’t trust them or their gang. This is blatant misuse of tax payer’s dollars – surely someone will do more than smack a few hands.

When will it all end? Today Citibank receives another 20 billion dollar transfusion. What makes us think that they won’t be back holding their teacup out for more? 

What gives the Washington Elite the right to spend our money without supervision – both Republicans and Democrats have displayed their inability to make wise decisions and act in a responsible adult manner. 

I don’t know the answers to our economic problem, but neither does our government. When in doubt it is best to “Stop” “Look” and “Listen” – I think you’ll all agree that flying by the seat of our pants isn’t working. 

We need unbiased economists and legal counsel to create a sound recovery plan that gives us in detail the necessary steps that should be implemented to rebuild our weak economy. Nope, I don’t trust Uncle Sam as far as I can throw him and you can take that to the bank! “May God Bless America.”   Stop in an visit @ http://www.yourannie.com

These money transfusions and exploratory surgery that Paulson, Pelosi, Dodd, Reid and buddies are performing will result in a depression, if someone doesn’t get a handle on our government. Americans have to speak up it’s our country, families and future that we we’re fighting for at this time. What will our children and their children do if we don’t fix this mess?

What if we charged Uncle Sam a very high interest fee on our money that is being so freely passed out to those who were mismanaging their business? In other words, we don’t have to ask permission just do it, that’s what Paulson and cohorts do… 

We get a wake up call that Bear Stearns is in deep doo doo and needs to borrow a few bucks from us – believe the rounded out amount totaled 29 billion and change. Don’t remember being told when this money will be paid back, at what interest rate and when taxpayers can expect a check?

One day we wake up and we’re told that Fannie & Freddie have a severe case of fraudulent spending and are in debt up to their armpits. The next thing we know Americans are bailing out these “pet government” projects and we’re not happy campers, but starting to adjust to the idea that we’re not in control – our voice has been lost and guess what we’re going to work once again for Uncle Sam like it or not.  

Just when we thought it couldn’t get worse, it did. Those shysters in the White House are once again crying doom and gloom saying either kick in some more money and bailout AIG or else?????

So we did and then we did it again and don’t be surprised if AIG doesn’t bring their tin bucket begging for even more than their 85 billion.

By golly, don’t forget the Big 3 – they’ll be back hitch hiking or via bus, train or airplane, but no private jets. Why have the Big 3 been singled out and like Palin made fun of and ridiculed – AIG and the other lending institutions aren’t exactly the “Better than thou” model of honest business practices. Just who is it playing “God” in the White House deciding who will and who won’t receive a money transfusion?

Many banks are standing in line behind Citi Bank and of course non-financial institutions will follow shortly thereafter… So maybe we the people of the United States of America could have our voice heard or at least our presence felt if we had our employers divert our money paid for taxes back into our pockets. 

At least this would be one way to insure that the money we’re loaning comes back to the “lender.” Americans need to join hands, unite and stop our run away government! “May God Bless Each and Everyone.”
