Looking Back …
September 13th, 2010 . by CaryIt was kind of a clunky process, but the pastor in Florida managed to highlight the “peacefulness” of the “Religion of Peace” (which, if it really is peaceful, shouldn’t need to be reminded of that fact so often) by agreeing NOT to burn to korans in his possession.
A while ago, I had this little tid-bit in the middle of a post:
Well, fine, you think to yourself – this old heap has been giving me problems anyway. Down to Larry’s Used Cars and Crullers you go for a new-to-you vehicle.
Oops – Larry’s closed down, too. Same reason – Cash For Clunkers took the decent used vehicles and, per government mandate, crushed them – so not even the salvageable parts, much less the entire car, could be resold. Part government program, part Green Whiners solution.
Today, in the Arizona Republic (link not guaranteed) was this little gem from George F. Will (caution – wapo):
The used-car market is an important mechanism for redistributing wealth to low-income persons: The price of a car drops when it is driven out of the dealership, but much of its transportation value remains when it enters the used-car market. Unfortunately for low-income people, the average price of a three-year-old automobile has increased more than 10 percent since last summer. This is largely because the Car Allowance Rebate System, aka “Cash for Clunkers,” which ended in August 2009, cut the supply of used cars.
Gee, I wonder why no one wants to let Obama continue to run the economic policies of this nation?
Chat ya later…
