how about “Cash for Houses”, next? If I agree to burn down my house, the gubmint will give me money to buy a brand new house!

Many think it’s a good idea to burn down excess housing. This would lower glut of homes and raise house prices. Just so long as they don’t burn down there home. You could go and burn down vacant homes around you, cause a home shortage, prices go up, then sell your home and move to another glut area, buy cheap, burn some more homes, sell when prices go up. You know, supply and demand. Good Luck!
Just kidding, but It’s already happening I bet. God Help US!!

Let me be clear, as I have always said, this Jerome Horwitz character is nothing more than a right wingnut stooge.

That undoubtedly makes Moses Horwitz the head wingnut stooge.

That’s easy, January of 2013. (Plus a tiny little bit of maturation in January of 2011.

The thing that got me is that rather then just repeating the line that the program was a success the DOT guy had to attack Edmunds. This is true in all liberal arguments, there not based primarily in facts but in partisan hate and attacks.

“It is unfortunate that Edmunds.com has had nothing but negative things to say about a wildly successful program that sold nearly 250,000 cars in its first four days alone,” said Bill Adams, spokesman for the Department of Transportation.

This really is a government of whiners and children, top to bottom!

Yeah, everyone says Palin is bad for shooting wolves but really, she just knows they have a big carbon footprint so she’s doing it to save Mother Earth!

The administration’s reaction once again reveals a very thin skin and a temperament perhaps suited to campaigning, but certainly not towards governing. When will the White House grow up?

Perhaps in 2013 with a new administration in power. I don’t hold out hope for signs of maturity from the “Chosen One”.

that relies on actual growth, not gimmicky and momentary incentives from the government

The exact reason that communism/socialism does not work.

You mean our pseudonyms might get national press?

So when some lobbyist in DC says “let me pull some strings” what exactly will that mean?

Okey. For the first time in my life, I will make a major decision.

Spare fox. Spare Edmunds.

Blame Palin>>> she started it with her death panels. And besides, she’s nothing. She’s just a woman ignorant of sexual benefits of abortion.

Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Make it a formal program: “Tampons for Turkeys”, or sumpthin’…

Looks like every state is going to have some sort of program that may or may not be announced yet.
