Cash for Clunkers
THINK OF IT THIS WAY…
A clunker that travels 12,000 miles a year at 15 mpg uses 800 gallons of gas a year.
A vehicle that travels 12,000 miles a year at 25 mpg 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 saved per year.
That equates to a bit over 5 million barrels of oil.
Five million barrels is about 5 hours worth of US consumption.
More importantly, 5 million barrels of oil at $70 per barrel costs about $350 million dollars.
So, the government paid $3 billion of our tax dollars to save $350 million.
We spent $8.57 for every dollar saved.
I’m pretty sure they will do a great job with health care though . . ..

SORRY FOR NOT BEING AROUND
I have been busy at work like never before beginning the moment I returned from vacation. I hope to have things in control by mid-December. In addition, my boss is a backstabbing hypocrite to a degree previously unfathomable… He is going to be dealt with somehow someway sometime but I am not sure how yet… I will return…
Am I the only one getting sick of Islamic bastards? Any Islamic bastard that does not cry out against violence is as bad as the perpetrators of the violence. Therefore, they are also Islamic Bastards. I am beginning to believe that there are no ‘moderate’ Muslim’s. If there are they are insensitive and complicit in all the murders just like those who knew about, hated the fact, but did nothing about the Holocaust.
If you are silent, you do not exist. If you don’t exist, you are worthless to God and Man.
