Stealing Money From Your Grandchildren

…to buy a car today. That’s what the “Cash for Clunkers” program is about. (Heck, that’s what well more than half of government spending’s about anymore. *sigh*) Everyone who’s gone out and bought a new car recently under the now strapped-for-cash “Cash for Clunkers” program has gotten their “feddle gummint” money on the deal by billing your children and grandchildren; it’s all “pay the debt forward” in a very perverse way.

And this idiotic greenie idea that it’ll do something wonderful for the environment is plain hooey. It’ll take at least five years of substantial fuel economy savings for these new cars to “pay” for the energy it took to manufacture them, more than likely. Probably more. And by that time, what do you want to bet that most of the buyers of these new cars will be ready to trade in on another energy deficit car?

Meanwhile, cars thjat have already “paid off” their energy deficits are being trashed–the drivetrains (the most energy-intensive postions of the manufacture) of “Cash for Clunkers” program trade-in cars are all being turned into scrap metal. Scavenging drivetrain parts (huge energy savings in avoiding manufacturing new replacement parts, and even moderate energy savings from rehabbing used parts) for cars folks would rather repair than scrap becomes impossible.

Now, Congress is talking about stealing another two billion dollars from your grandchildren for this boondoggle.

*feh* on them.

Congress Intent on Swearing The Dhimmicrappic Oath

The 0!’s “Campaign to Enslave America” (A.K.A., “Health Care Reform, “Cap and Trade” etc.) uses the Underpants Gnomes’ Business Plan as a model to create further crises in order to bring our society to its knees. Once he has fully exhausted the benefits of

Phase 1: Collect Underpants
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit!

and the havoc such a plan will wreak on our society, he can reap the rewards of his refinement of the CLOWARD-PIVEN STRATEGY,

“First proposed in 1966 and named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven, the “Cloward-Piven Strategy” seeks to hasten the fall of capitalism by overloading the government bureaucracy with a flood of impossible demands, thus pushing society into crisis and economic collapse.”

Let’s call The 0!’s plans for America what they are, The Underpants Gnome Cloward-Piven Maneuver to Enslave America. Sure, it’s a mouthful, but it has the charm of being more honest than the lying “Health Care Reform” or obscurantist “Cap and Trade” bullshit.

Re: Cap and Trade (Crap and Raid)

Instead of “The Rape of the Common Man” Congress seems intend on performing, we need a Congress dominate by this spirit:

[audio:fanfare common man.mp3]

(The United States Marine Band doesn’t give the absolute best performance of Fanfare for the Common Man here, and it’s only 96kbps, but it’ll do)

Here’s a sample of another performance:

Now, I Wouldn’t Go This Far, But…

I saw an anonymous comment at CPSIA – Comments & Observations and felt a twinge of agreement:

“I think we need to update the dat[a] on lethal dosages for lead and other toxins by force feeding them to congress until they all die. We will then have useful data, and end the harmful effect of congress.”

While I wouldn’t go that far, I do feel that Congress might find a collective interview with Dr. Tarr and Mr. Fether to be enlightening…

Third World County Dreamin’

What if…

…All the DC politicians (OK, perhaps three or four exceptions–I’ll negotiate with y’all about the exceptions :-)) were “given” a large portion of the “feddle gummint” lands in Nevada (appropriately fenced with sniper towers in a nicely-designed “crossfire” pattern :-)) and assigned to pound sand for the rest of their unnatural lives?

…All the Prisons for Kids (A.K.A. “public school”) administrators (again, I’d be willing to negotiate a 1% exception) and “schools of education” educraps (no exceptions allowed) were given lovely chains and assigned the task of breaking rocks into sand for the D.C. politicians to pound?

…And parents of children who refused to act in a civilized manner in school and DO THEIR WORK, learning how to read (and to read), do maths, etc. were put to work carrying rocks to the Prisons for Kids administrators and educraps?

…And teachers who failed to teach kids to read, etc., were FIRED?

Well, I’ll tell you “What if”–wake up, you’re dreaming!

*sigh*

Congress Should Lead by Example

Speaking of irresponsible, greedy businessmen whose greed and incompetence have been instrumental in causing the recession, Senator Charles Grassley, R-IA, has infamously said,

“They need to do one of two things. The Japanese do it best. You either apologize, or you commit suicide.”

I agree wholeheartedly, Senator Grassley. Now, will you and your fellow congresscritters simply lead by example? Show ’em how it’s done! After all, it is YOU and your ilk–Dhimmicraps and wannabe Dhimmicrap Repugnican’ts–who were PRIMARILY responsible for causing this recession. I’d buy a ticket to watch you and your fellow congresscritters commit sepuku. Heck, I’d buy a few tickets and hand ’em out to local pols, pour encourager les autres, as it were.
