AN INTERESTING ECONOMIC ANALYSIS!!!!!!

 

A vehicle at 15 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 800 gallons a year of gasoline.

A vehicle at 25 mpg and 12,000 miles per year uses 480 gallons a year.

So, the average clunker transaction will reduce US gasoline consumption by 320 gallons per year.

They claim 700,000 vehicles – so that’s 224 million gallons / year.

That equates to a bit over 5 million barrels of oil.

5 million barrels of oil is about ¼ of one day’s US consumption.

And, 5 million barrels of oil costs about $375 million dollars at $75/bbl.

So, we all contributed to spending $3 billion to save $375 million a year.

Question:

Is this type of Obummer Leadership why our government is going broke???

(Also makes you wonder about their claim that they can fix health care at no additional cost)

Is this why the Brits coined the Phrase: "Penny Wise & Pound FOOLISH"???

I have been a Mechanical Engineer & Know for certain the Auto Industry has been screwing the Public for Years. I drive an '82 Full Sized Blazer w/V-8 (that I Re-Built) & the wife a '03 Trailblazer (much smaller & lighter) w/straight 6 cyl.. Why after 11 years (of innovations?) do they both get the SAME GAS  MILEAGE (23 hwy.) if not a "Conspiracy"???

Why should the Govt. give them ANY HELP???

Your analysis of the governments accounting method is right on. CfC program was another tax money give away which was supposed to help the auto industry. Most of the new cars sold were foreign, not domestic.

Give the government a dollar in taxes and they will create a new bureau, and it will see to it that you get 17 cents in benefits.

The radical Left wants everyone to have the best health care in the world, and it will cost less than the present system. Yeah, right.

i would love to know if this person has insurance and if so, what? so a right wing conservative (afraid of change "websters dictionary")actually has it in black and white that admits he cares for his pennies than he does for people who do not have insurance, and on top of that are sick, very sick, brain tumors, worse of all IN PAIN> how can you see a person in crying tears in pain not want then to have insurance. So, should we sit by a allow them to be miserable with pain and sickness controlling their lives, or at least try something to see them gain above 79 pounds due to pain, losing interest in all fields of life, no time for their families, and 2-3 yyears go by without realizing it until they are needing pysical therapy at home due to their ankles not holding them up becuase it has been so long since they have walked.Sound like your life?  Because it is my life, and I have what is supposedly the best of health insurance, well the best I can have due to fact that I have a pre existing illness, and was not asked the question, of had I had cancer, becuase I have. I work in  politics and congressional dental and have no problem at all. How would like to have that insurance, because it is what you would denal and MEDICAL if we go with Obama's plan. I do not qualify for the medical but will jump off of my insurance as soon as i see the health care will pass, so that I may too might go to the store again, drive, out to dinner, movies, little things you take for granted. i would give up 20.00 per week for people whom are sick , for the uninsured to have some help. So a conservative really is afraid of change, at least the radical lefties are at least wanted to see what a change might bring, instead of siting on their bottoms as usual doing NOTHING> What happened, and now why are all of these people jumping deck??? The republicans are acting worse than 5 year olds about whatever has been stuck up what they are sitting on. #1 problem during election, was "HEALTHCARE" now it has only demished, buy I hope the Republican that gets too rowdy and could as much as a democrat has the insurance to go to the E>R. Then you can pay the ENTIRE bill if they do not have insurance , which will probaby be the fact because whom at Wamart, K Mart , that are employess have about 120.00 per month if they choose for insurance over their families food. We have very wealth off people here going to the community kitchen one meal a day to put back for a house payment. what do you do for a living, how much is your insurance, do you have children. please allow me to know what will happen if you miss 3 months of work. Will you worry about food, losing your home, gas to get to the dr. , gas to go get tests run at the hospital becuase that will be your life. and believe me it is not fun.

A Man Of All Seasons

 

Last night we went to a demo derby. After the one heat, 10 clunkers were ALL done in and ready for the crusher. None could run OR move, even if they did run.

All the parts had already been removed with the exception of the engine and the running gear.

Then I got to thinking.

I don't have a clue what it costs to put on a Demo Derby and award trophies as well, but it seems to me that if the government threw $2,000 or $3,000 at EVERY demo derby in the nation all summer long, it would be FAR cheaper than the "Cash For Clunkers" program ever was AND FAR more efficient as well!!

Just think of the advertising: SPONSORED BY THE US GOVERNMENT. (Presidential seal here)

And all the entertainment value!!

Hey, pass this on and let's get something going here to save our tax dollars!!!!!

Write your congressman.
Think of all the hotdogs, beer, tacos, candy popcorn etc, etc, sold at each event!

Wouldn't stimulate the economy?????
Good one! You got me there LOL

Additionally, the fluids that leak from them do more damage to the environment than any benefit that would result, as well as the damage of another several thousand tons of junk food and alcohol consumed during the events.
Few if any of them are roadworthy in the legal meaning of the term.......Well, I wouldn't necessarily go that far but.....................
