The Brilliance of Barack

I am going to say something here that may shock many of my readers. The Obama Administration's Cash for Clunkers program is a stroke of genius that clearly demonstrates the brilliance of Barack. For those of you who have been hiding under a rock as of late and do not know what I am referring to, let me bring you up to speed

The program is called CARS or the Car Allowance Rebate System and has become affectionately known as Cash for Clunkers. The idea is to give car buyers a government incentive to trade in their old gas guzzling, environment destroying vehicles for a new, government approved, politically correct econobox of a car. The consumer takes their "clunker" to a dealership, fills out some paperwork, and provided the car being traded and the car being purchased meet certain criteria, the government cuts the dealership a check for as much as $4500 to go towards the purchase of the new car.

Now, who in their right mind wouldn't take advantage of this program? I mean, after all, we are talking free money from the Obama Administration and screwing a crooked car dealer at the same time, right? The better question is who in their right mind WOULD let themselves be taken advantage of by this government rip off? Remember your high school government classes boys and girls, and remember that the only money the government gets is what they confiscatorily take from us in the form of taxes.

The elephant in the room that the government hopes you continue to ignore is the FACT that you are not getting anything for free from good old Uncle Sam. You're giving the dealership your perfectly good used car and you're giving them $4500 on top of that because this "incentive" IS YOUR MONEY to start with. So essentially, you're giving away your car, and $4500 cash and you actually think you're getting a good deal and helping the economy. The reality is, you're the one getting screwed here and no one is even offering you any Vaseline.

And that my friends is the brilliance of Barack. Convincing you that giving away your perfectly good car and giving away $4500 is somehow a good idea and getting you to like it. Or maybe in reality it is the abject stupidity of every person who has participated in this clunker of a program and of those who voted for our clunker of a president.
