Hi all,
-Hopefully you will be able to use below url link, or paste it into your browser and get to it.
-This is a great example of what happens when the government gets too involved in our daily lives. We thought the Patriot Act had some problems; in many ways this kind of stuff goes even further.
-Federal government money has provided inroads for federal control of state organizations and activities: e.g., federal money for schools and universites, federal money for roads, federal monies for medicade, etc. Sometimes that involvement has good results, but in many cases it has bad results.
-Now here is an example of federal money coming to the individual (cash for clunkers), but with strings attached.
-Is this an example of federal malice or stupidity? Is it a one-time happening, or can we expect more of this with the federal government getting more involved with the auto industry, banking industry, health care, etc? I don't know. But hopefully, without sounding too conspiratorial, citizens just say we are not going to stand for this stuff.
-anyway, I thought it was something that you on this forum would be interested in.
