"The Obama Youth" ??

[chpthril]

Well, I got flamed last year when I pointed out the similarities of Hitler's quick rise to power and Obama's. I wonder if those folks still dont see it

In our schools, we cant pledge allegiance to our nation, we cant say a prayer, but yet we are teaching our students to put thier praise of Obama in a rap song.

[Jeffe]

Makes me sick to my stomach.

Not to be offensive or racist, but if that choir teacher was white, do you think they would be singing that???

[Guapo]

That kind of crap literally scares me. It's all about him...not the country! This is the United States of American NOT the United States of Obama

If he had his way ACORN and all community organizers would be running things and redistributing wealth.

Subject: Cash for Clunkers

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 "Cash for Clunkers" 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 $350 million dollars at $70/bbl.


So, we all contributed to spending $3 billion to save $350 million.

How good a deal was that ???

They'll probably do a great job with health care though!!

If you traded in a clunker worth $3500, you get $4500 off for an apparent
"savings" of $1000.
However, you have to pay taxes on the $4500 come April 15th (something
that no auto dealer will tell you). If you are in the 30% tax bracket,
you will pay $1350 on that $4500.
So, rather than save $1000, you actually pay an extra $350 to the feds.
In addition, you traded in a car that was most likely paid for. Now you
have 4 or 5 years of payments on a car that you did not need, that was
costing you less to run than the payments that you will now be making.
But wait, it gets even better: you also got ripped off by the dealer.

For example, every dealer here in LA was selling the Ford Focus with all
the goodies including A/C, auto transmission, power windows, etc for
$12,500 the month before the "cash for clunkers" program started.
When "cash for clunkers" came along, they stopped discounting them and
instead sold them at the list price of $15,500. So, you paid $3000 more
than you would have the month before. (Honda, Toyota , and Kia played the
same list price game that Ford and Chevy did).
So lets do the final tally here:
You traded in a car worth: $3500
You got a discount of: $4500
---------
Net so far +$1000
But you have to pay: $1350 in taxes on the $4500
--------
Net so far: -$350
And you paid: $3000 more than the car was selling for
the month before
----------
Net -$3350
We could also add in the additional taxes (sales tax, state tax, etc.) on
the extra $3000 that you paid for the car, along with the 5 years of
interest on the car loan but lets just stop here.
So who actually made out on the deal? The feds collected taxes on the car
along with taxes on the $4500 they "gave" you. The car dealers made an
extra $3000 or more on every car they sold along with the kickbacks from
the manufacturers and the loan companies. The manufacturers got to dump
lots of cars they could not give away the month before. And the poor
stupid consumer got saddled with even more debt that they cannot afford.
Obama convinced Joe consumer that he was getting $4500 in "free" money
from the "government" when in fact Joe was giving away his $3500 car and
paying an additional $3350 for the privilege.
And the best part of all, 80% of new cars sold under this deal were not american made.

The plan works great because 99% of the Demecratic voters cant do math beyond a 6th greade level.

[lightning59]

Hey G-Money, well done on the facts of the "Cash For Clunkers"!

I'll keep my paid for SUV with 180,000 on the odometer!

I'll be waiting for your "Cash For Appliances" debrief!

[sparky216]

6th grade?

being a little conservative aren't you Chp?

[Carter13]

There's your public schools for ya.

[Domsz06]

that's an awesome find there G!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Tequilasun]

Inner city public schools....

What peeves me about this is the kids in these school districts are being placed in a continual loop of ignorance and poverty. No one wants to teach in these schools, so this is the crap you get. Ignorant idol worship. I don't even care that it's got a political motivation...my hunch is that this song was being prepared for a Mrs. Obama news presser... But let's teach our kids better than this crap.

Couldn't of said it any better!
