Default O/T: Major Sea Changes

And if the government can make us buy insurance, what's next? *Bail out
the auto industry by compelling everyone to buy an American car, whether
they can afford one or not and regardless of whether they actually want
or need a car?


What do you think "cash for clunkers" was all about?



I know a number of people who bought FOREIGN cars during this program
and benefited. If it was specifically for the American automobile
industry, then it was worded incorrectly and there were unintended
consequences. There will be thousands of unintended consequences
because of this health care bill. First and foremost is the debt we
are going to incur in a time of recession when money is tight all
over. Sounds like a great time to start such a program.

Oh, and how does something that will create almost a trillion dollars
in debt SAVE us 100-200 billion? Huh? It isn't going to save squat
but what it WILL do is raise the cost of all the products and services
in this country and will push us further down the global economic
scale.
