Well I certainly agree with that idea, I have bought enough FA-18's and tactical weapons and I don't need a government contrived ETS bought with the tax I no longer pay:)

It cost us all $24,000 PER CAR for the Cash for Clunkers program. Forget Corollas . We could've given a Camry away with every trade in.

Cash for Clunkers works, so Republicans say Nooooo
Tell me again how Cash for Clunkers works??

I would have loved a new Camry, but my 27 year old truck is an "antique," not a clunker. I'll just keep clunking down the highway expanding my carbon footprint :D

Porkulus works, too. Obama plans to announce today that it has "created and saved at least 1 million jobs."
I'm starting to see a pattern here, with Obama someone declares it to be so and it's so. That would explain the Nobel, the success of CFC, ending the rise of the oceans, restoring America's standing in the world, a million jobs "created and saved" and his having already had " one of the most productive first years of any administration in decades."

Since the program has been going, car dealerships have been busy for the first time in months, the average milage increase between the cars turned in, and the ones going out is 9 miles per gallon.... NINE MILES PER GALLON!! And, the checks offer immediate stimulus.
Yet, the Republicans want to kill it....

Another example of an Obama program that 'works.'
Painting a street green hasn't stimulated one new job
In Baltimore, the 300 block of East 23 1/2 Street is getting patched up in time for winter. One economic stimulus program is paying to insulate 11 rental rowhouses, another is paying for furnaces and a third is covering the cost for reflective roofs to be installed by prison inmates in a job-training program.
The block is part of one of the biggest initiatives ever undertaken by the federal government, a nationwide push to improve the energy efficiency of buildings. But as the national unemployment rate crosses into the double digits and Republicans question the stimulus program's impact, the work on East 23 1/2 -- even with all of its activity -- has so far not produced a single job.
Nine months after Congress passed the $787 billion stimulus package, there is little tangible to show for one of its biggest single areas of investment, the $25 billion energy-efficiency effort. That points to one of the central tensions of President Obama's landmark stimulus package: His goal was to inject money quickly into the economy while at the same time laying the groundwork for his broader, transformational agenda on energy, education and health care.
$25 billion and it hasn't produced a single job. I'm sure Obama and the Dems are fine with that as long their "transformational agenda" pushes forward.

As far as I'm concerned, yes, starting with George W. Bush: " "I've abandoned free-market principles to save the free-market system," Bush told CNN television." At least he is honest, unlike Obama and Dems who refuse to acknowledge that they are 'liberal'. But the practical result: "When the...

Hello wingers:
If the Democrats had acted like the Republicans are NOW acting, we wouldn't have invaded Afghanistan or Iraq. It would be as if on the morning after 9/11, Democrats said they wanted no part of any war against Al Qaeda, “George Bush, you're on your own.”
