    I don't see a problem.

    Unless of course you're so cynical (realistic) as to think senators would try to place plants in an effort to benefit their constituents and therefore their next re-election bid.

    They wouldn't do that, would they?

    Wow, would our politicians do such a thing as to use tax payer money to secure re-election in their home district?

    That is quite frightening if so:D

  3. Don't worry, no one wants to own a Trabant anyway.

    Getting Germans to produce worthless cars was a remarkable achievement by State control.

    What! You're not going to buy one of the new Obamas? I hear they are going to have a big "O" in the grill like the Edsel. But, they are only going to be able to turn left.
    :p

    GM=Amtrak

    Actually ....the Amtrak analogy is quite on the mark....

    It is like the whole "protective" government reasoning to garner votes and keeping out the pain....

    Is like trying to kiss a beautiful woman through a glass window....
    Beautiful....but cannot touch....

    ..........................................................................................

    So far the protection is ....

    banker/government/big business lobbyist roladex based

    two political party by advertising budget lobbyist system

    legal largesse was the bigger factor that killed GM....and a lot more to come....

    WMT protected US citizens with cheap Chinese products

    the govt. is now going to protect all the little people by hidden govt./corp. facism

    govt. protection from the uglies in capitalism....

    Isn't it all just wonderful....

    The G scale is going to become quite common....

    Doctors will love being on the G scale....

    And the way it's going....it will be quite a task to
    find someone not on a G scale....

    One wonders if all clothes colors will match the G scale levels....

    Ditto.

    I drove in Trabant and other state-produced "cars" and it definitely won't be a problem to motivate myself to avoid buying GM, Chrysler.

  7. What really sucks is the IRS just sent me a letter. The IRS said I overpaid my quarterly estimates & 2008 tax bill, so they wanted to verify a location to send the refund????

    They are sending me a Saturn Sky and a H3 Hummer as my refund??? :eek:
