Meantime I may be the only serviceman in town on a bicycle till I can find another vehicle asap. I will not be asking the fed for anything. I'll make do on my own and not be compromised by taking a bribe form the Fed on your dime.

This is more like a kick in the ass. Much as we dislike it, some things must be kick started by govenment action. In the same vain, we should not have a standing army. We each should own a couple of weapons and a few hundred rounds of ammo. We each should take a turn over in Iraq and Afghanistan - say a six month rotation for each of us. See the <a href="http://www.usconstitution.net/const.html#A1Sec8" rel="nofollow">US constitution </a> Article 1 Section 8 para 12, and then look at this (correct) explanation of <a href="http://www.barefootsworld.net/article2.html" rel="nofollow">the second amendment</a> <br />Especially look closely at the definitions of militia. What it doesn't mention is at one time the US law made it a civil responsibility to keep a weapon and ammo. <br />(actually I would advocate something close to that, but no one would listen to me) <br />and (OK, now you have seen the "warrior" side of me, which is actually retired)TRexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478320068584212610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12723219.post-70036746818434643132009-08-05T17:01:18.048-05:002009-08-05T17:01:18.048-05:00Don't get me wrong, the program is not perfect...Don't get me wrong, the program is not perfect and there likely will be some fraud somewhere, but overall, <a href="http://www.cashforclunkersfacts.com/" rel="nofollow">it works</a> - <a href="http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/2009-05-11-chrysler-gm-cash-clunkers_N.htm" rel="nofollow">as it was intended</a> and does have some safeguards against abuse built in. <br /><br /><br />If you read the articles on the program's benifits (and just scratch out the parts about the environment and safety, since those are mostly scams anyway) you will see that it puts a lot of Americans to work, puts money in the pockets of average citizens <a href="http://futuremillionaire.us/wpblog/2009/07/09/a-good-summation-of-the-bailout-so-far/" rel="nofollow">(as opposed to millionaire bankers</a>who shouldn't be getting it anyway - see note below). And the car they buy will likely (not assuridly, but likely) take less money to operate and for upkeep, so it won't turn around and drain their resources later. <br /><br /><br />Right now the biggest problem identified is that they only put just under $1B into it, knowing (see "as intended," above) that it would eat up $2B to $3B, and <a href="http://www.bloomberg.com/apps/news?pid=20601087&sid=aMxpFjwkDUZY" rel="nofollow">the Republicans are trying to stop it</a> from getting any more money.<br /><br /><br />Note: <br />I can't find the source right now, but I heard it put this way: The Bailout is the government taking your money by force, and giving it to banks so they can lend it back to you. (With interest, I will add. And it WAS your money, now it is theirs, with interest.)TRexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12478320068584212610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12723219.post-45357902002430904372009-08-05T05:35:31.801-05:002009-08-05T05:35:31.801-05:00What do you like about Cash-for-Clunkers?What do you like about Cash-for-Clunkers?Pilgrimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16938279280798948229noreply@blogger.com
