The cash for clunker has me asking, when do we get a cash for clunkers for our government?
I would like to trade in my current money guzzling Government for one that is more efficient. I currently have a Government that just can't keep running without me putting more and more into it and still more things break.
When my Government started it was all nice and new, it had some problems but the bugs were worked out and it started to run great.
Then in about the 1930's - 1940's it started to break down, the fix seemed to be put more attachments on it (social security as an example). My Government was able to struggle through the hard times of the 60's and 70's where no one seemed to take care of it, but just added more attachments to try to fix things (the war on poverty). In the 80's there came a mechanic who took many of the attachments off and we saw the government start to run more efficiently, we all started to say hey maybe this Government is going to run good?
Then came the 90's where we say our Government on loan to all the other countries to drive, just like so many old clunkers that you loan out to friends.
After the turn of the millennium our country was sideswiped, since then we have struggled to keep our damaged clunker of a Government running.
Our previous president kept it running after the devastation but put way to much in attachments. instead of putting it in to fixing the engine.
We saw the election of an individual who said he could change things, yet instead of our clunker government getting things fixed it got a paint job. Much has been set aside for the future repairs to our government, yet we see our leaders getting spinners and a booming stereo as they load more and more onto the load that the Government must carry.
How much more can the Government carry before it breaks, why do those who come in office fail to fix the engine of our Government even after so many promises. The only program I want to see coming our of Washington D.C. is a cash for clunkers for Government so I can trade in the broken one I have now!
