At first it looked as if the Cash for Clunkers was working and the
Bozomites actually shovelled more money into it. Now, dealers are dropping out of the program because they are not getting paid for the clunkers by the Bozoma admin. If they cannot run something as simple as this what makes you think they can run a healthcare program costing nearly a trillion dollars/yr. |

Did you notice that GM has gained strength and is even calling back laid off employees? Did you notice that Ford is showing profit? Of course not, because you think that everything liberal is bad. Let the spinning begin! |

One year later, I don't hear that kind of talk, so, I guess, they did something right.

Unemployment is still increasing, there is all that borrowed money to payback. Foreclosures are increasing and now it is not the sub-prime loans, it is those that have lost their jobs and can not make the payments. |

I had a friend who used to call me, when he needed unusual parts. I'd buy them at my local junk yard, I mean Auto Salvage, and send them down. Usually, with shipping, it was still cheaper for him, than buying them local. |

I dont' realy know, but I thought there was an option of stripping it of anything usable in a period of 180 days then it had to be crushed. |

When I was a kid my dad was building a tractor. He bought a landing flap gearbox from a B-17. Bought a nice piece of plate exactly the right size for the crossmember to mount it on. Too bad it was armor and nearly undrillable, expecially with whatever drills the local hardware store had. He used a hand drill, a big one with a half inch chuck, and a big gear with a crank handle on it. Casady |
