What good are the numbers when they are distorted by government spending
programs? Claims that $4500 car rebates cost taxpayers $24K? That's
absurd. Giving people $8K to buy a house, and that costs taxpayers
$46K? With that kind of "social spending" you could give away cars that
cost less than $10K and liveable RV trailers that don't require
financing?

Those numbers are absurd, and I suspect someone pulled them out of their
ass.

Actually, it was a study by Edmunds, who seem to know plenty about
automobile sales...

They want to "bulldoze neighborhoods", erect solar and wind electric
generation plants in hurricane and other storm prone areas (it's either
hurricanes, tornadoes, or flooding?) Coal and gas are the most
dependable forms of cheap energy, and they want us to go broke trying to
pay for it next year?

The neighborhoods in question are derelict and abandoned, a burden to the
cities they are in. Why not replace hundreds of square miles of rotting
and empty tenements with parks, green industry areas, and public
transit? As for coal and gas, they are killing us. For all the wet
diaper contingent of the GOP whines about the cost, the cost of global
warming itself is going to be far greater.

But that is why Republicans and Democrats don't want Conservatives in
public office, they want to give their deep pocket campaign finance
donors big concessions, even if it wrecks the economy?

Pretty much, yeah. "Conservative" is either a loon or an industry
whore. Neither do us much good.

d) Any humor if used, is not intended to offend people, and may be
designed to apply the principals of peer pressure through reverse

considered free speech or that the use of abortion to limit Negros,
Latinos, and other races from "spreading the wealth around" as a "matter
of privacy" (which the author does not condone).

e)The use of humor is a known ingredient in providing teachable moments,

h) It is the opinion of the author that effective 1 December, 2009, the
proposed regulations from the FTC violate the first and fifth amendments
of the United States Constitution, by infringing through economic
affliction the burden without compensation all financial details
concerning the communications of both free enterprise and opinion, and
other civil rights such as "punishment must be fair" and not at the
"discretion" of public officials, or that advertisers are assumed to be
guilty of deception when United States law provides that you are
innocent before being proven guilty, and are in fact demonstrations that
there are current members of Congress that neither understand the spirit
of the law our founding fathers made for the United States of America,
or understand how they work in the opinion of the author, as of October
10th, 2009, especially in light of anticipated, and hopefully defeated,
legislative taxes relating to energy use and the burden of publishers
and advertisers to comply with the law and manage the environment, and
in light that there are various consumer protection agencies, including
the Better Business Bureau, which has free consumer information.

i)Although the content provided meets or exceeds those new requirements
to the knowledge of the author, and modifications to version 1.3 of this
disclaimer is a result of the opinion of the author that blogging is
another definition for a potentially infinite number or forms of
electronic communication, as such the author will retroactively apply
this version, 1.4 to all forms of previous communications, when and
wherever possible, as time allows, in order to properly convey the

often as possible as Barack Hussein Obama has admitted in his book
