Stimulating the Democrats

I'm sure you've already heard about the $600 million in the Obama stimulus package that they want to spend on government vehicles.
I wonder how many people have made this connection?

1. The auto companies complain that they need to be bailed out.
2. Democrats, eager to keep union votes, create a bailout package to lend/give the auto companies money.
3. The same democrats approve of $600 million to be spent on (American) cars for the federal work force.

Thus the Democrats get to double dip into your pocket for a corporate bailout of the auto industry, and then claim that [$600 million/cost of car] extra cars have been sold due to their bailout package.
Presuming that the cars cost $20,000 each, that means that the government could increase sales of cars by 30,000. What were the names of those lobbyists again?

It gets worse. According to the Wall Street Journal:

Power-equipment maker General Electric Co. lobbied for a slew of provisions in the bill and won several, including the production tax credit for renewables, $32 billion for a "smart" U.S. electrical grid for which it manufactures most components; and $300 million for rebates for consumers who buy energy efficient appliances, which GE sells.

This is really, really, really important for the American people to understand.
If this bill goes through, your LIFETIME TAXES will increase by about $78,000 to pay for this bill. That's everyone's taxes.
-And who is this money going to?
Why... those "greedy corporations", like General Electric. -And General Motors. -And all of those other companies that the Democrats have been criticizing Republicans for giving tax breaks to.

I can't stress this enough: the biggest way to waste $78,000 of your money is to approve of this stimulus bill.
If you want to buy the equivelent of 3 luxury cars, without anything in return? Cool. Tell that to your congressman/woman. But if you don't have a cool 80k to throw into the sewer, call your congressperson now. Today. Right now. You have a cell phone, and you have the minutes.

Give them a piece of your mind.
Tell them that you know that the economy is in the crapper, but that you're onto them.
While you're at it? Call your newspaper and ask them for the details of whats in this stimulus package. Tell your friends what you know about it... particularly the guys wearing the shirts with Obama's face on it.
When they start giving you talking points about how we have to do something, ask them if they know that it will cost them $78,000. -And slap them if you have to.
Hard.
