Republican Politicians are Liars and Hypocrites

 

 

Something from Detroit:

Fords Contribution:

This is the Edsel, named after one of the Ford family members that died

young (just like this model).

 

This is from Chevrolet:

a modern version of the Electric Car, produced and leased by General Motors

in 1998 called the EV1?   About 350 were made, they were wildly popular with

those that leased them.  After the leases lapsed GM took all of the cars back,

shipped them out to the desert and Crushed them, citing a marketing study

that said American's weren't ready to purchase Electric cars.  This one above,

is a working model, one of 2 or 3 left in museums with a stipulation that they

are not to be driven - ever.  Meanwhile GM claims that the technology to

create a functional electric car is years away.  What BS.

$825,000,000,000.00 (of our money) will be spent the next two years to correct the effects of greed, and treason against Americans.  From the authors of the The American Recovery and Reinvestment Bill of 2009:

 "Since 2001, as worker productivity went up, 96% of the income growth in this country went to the wealthiest 10% of society. While they were benefiting from record high worker productivity, the remaining 90% of Americans were struggling to sustain their standard of living. They sustained it [the standard of living] by borrowing ... and borrowing ... and borrowing, and when they couldn't borrow anymore, the bottom fell out." i.e. over the last 8 years of Republican administration the average American has lost average income (the 90%) each year while taxes for the rich have declined.  The great Supply Side Economics BS that reduced taxes increase jobs is belied by this statistic: http://www.jobwatch.org/email/jobwatch_20050107.html

A comment from someone else:  "...Want outrage, reframe the argument... The way I see it my children, my wonderful, innocent children, have had their futures stolen by Wall Street. My generation can not pay back this debt. It will be left to my children and grandchildren. I am honestly concerned whether my grandchildren will have a better quality of life than mine. Stealing from a baby is outrageous.

Counter Point: http://economistsview.typepad.com/economistsview/2009/02/bogus-arguments-about-the-burden-of-the-debt.html "...The American national debt is an obligation to pay U.S. dollars: Each debt certificate obligates the Treasury to pay the holder so many U.S. dollars on a prescribed date. But the U.S. government is the source of these dollars. It prints them!..." and thus we need not fear is someone else is willing to give us their money for these IOUs.
