"Government money" is money removed from the economy in one area and jammed back into another. Nothing is created in the process, the markety dynamics are destroyed because of it, and waste and abuse abound because the recipients of that money did not have to produce anything (i.e., "new wealth) to get that money. Hence, wealth is actually destroyed whenever to government is a player in the market in ANY form.<br /> <br /> Just look at the credit markets and what the government did via Fannie Mae. The risk tensions required to keep lenders in check were removed once the government (through pressure from then-ACORN lawyers like Obama) pressured government-run Fannie Mae to guarentee "fly-in-the-face-of-lending-policy" sub-prime loans. Now the taxpayer is paying for it, as always.<br /> <br /> If this were all accidents or ignorance, once in a while the socialists conspirin to destroy our country would occassionally make a mistake on our (the U.S. taxpayers) favor. But it NEVER happens that way.

Yes it is a waste! Someone could have used that car to get to work. http://winduprubberfinger.com/blog1.php/2009/08/21/cash-for-clunkers-if-they-are-not-clunke#c51 Wed, 26 Aug 2009 17:27:10 +0000 Hollie [Visitor] c50@http://winduprubberfinger.com/ So, what did they do, run the engine without oil until it locked up? What a waste! http://winduprubberfinger.com/blog1.php/2009/08/21/cash-for-clunkers-if-they-are-not-clunke#c50
