There’s been either a Democrat or a Republican in the White House ever since 1853: That’s 156 years to get something right.

"The U.S. Postal Service was established in 1775 - 234 years to get it right.

"Social Security was established in 1935 - 74 years to get it right.

"Fannie Mae was established in 1938 - 71 years to get it right.

"The "War on Poverty" started in 1964 - 45 years to get it right.

"Medicare and Medicaid were established in 1965 - 44 years to get it right.

"Freddie Mac was established in 1970 - 39 years to get it right.

"Trillions of dollars were spent in the massive political payoffs called TARP, the "Stimulus," the Omnibus Appropriations Act of 2009... none of which show any signs of working.

""Cash for Clunkers" was established in 2009 and went broke in 2009.

"So with a perfect 100% failure rate and a record that proves that "services" they’ve shoved down our throats are failing faster and faster, they want us to believe they can be trusted with a government-run health care system?!?!"

Some programs just need a little more time to properly take root.

And today, UPS delivered a package to my office. From the looks of it, I'd guess they dropped back about forty yards and punted it into the building.

I ordered a bunch of stuff online last week. UPS and FedEx already delivered. I'm still waiting on the USPS.

Cash for clunkers went broke, em no in a couple of months they sold more cars that they thought the would in a year, only way that's not a success is if car dealers don't get paid. Otherwise it was a win for those who bought cars, and for the auto manufacturers.

If you want to continue the program, all you have to do is print more dollars.

700,000 new more fuel efficient vehicles sold in a little over a month, still got a problem with that?

Oh and USPS is still the fastest of the major delivery companies to me every time, that said their tracking system leaves something to be desired.

^Yep they wouldn't do a cash for clunkers deal on a new Suburban for me.So f*ck em I bought one anyway.The most fuel efficient Suburban I've owned...........18 hwy.I can't wait for one of those really cute Smart cars to pull out in front of me......CRUNCH

9 for 7

Go for it Whislebritches, sound like a fun time, I'll bail you out from jail, if it takes me 100 years.

^For what?????Is it illegal to drive an SUV now?????Or do you know something I don't......Obama is going to make it illegal to drive SUV's??????Wouldn't surprise me at all.

Ron

Oh I thought you were gonna go out and run over some smart cars. Just here to encourage you, that's all.

By the way my 2007 Durango Hemi gets 26 miles per gal. on the highway, and seats 8.

^No!!!! I just like to point out how stupid these people are that drive these cracker boxes.I had some moron in a Smart Car try to move me at a SOCAL on ramp.Me and my Freightliner had no where to go(traffic to my left).Eventually he gave in.........it was either that or the wall.For some reason people crawl in these tiny cars and drive like pitbulls.You'll never catch me in one I assure you.

Ron

We have an 02 Durango with the 5.7L.It gets around 20-21 on the highway.My wife and I just can't part with it.We both hate the new Durango body style.She uses it to go back and forth to work........hell it only has 50,000 mile on it.

Ron

#4 USPS is actually usually faster around here, provided:

a. they haven't lost the package altogether, and

b. you don't mind 1 out of every 5-7 shipments looking like it went through the jet's engine upon touchdown at the airport.

You think legislation is something akin to gospel? WTF?

Things don't work like that. Even the founding fathers knew that. That's why they wrote in the possibility of amendments.

It's also why we didn't have one Congress and dismiss it forever.

Things need to be run, monitored and revised to keep on running.

Whistle- You won't be able to get a Durango anymore-Dodge is gone, but you can get an Aspen with the MDS Hemi engine.

Your statements appears sincere, yet reeks of false logic.

If a government stimulus check to purchase cars is a GOOD thing, then why end it?

It should go on forever.

And why limit it to cars?

Why not swimming pools? computers? Hell, even cigars!

Think of the boost to those industries!

At the end of the day, however, it is you and I that get stuck with the bill.

And shame on those of you who may have already purchased a car too recently to need a new one.

And double shame on those of you with older cars that had gas mileage that was too good to qualify!

To believe in that program is to believe in the tooth fairy.

(hint: the dollar was put there by your mommy...)

It's smoke and mirrors.

I'm just amazed that otherwise intelligent people think it helped the economy.
