Cash for clunkers? Huh? If the Obama administration can use my tax dollars to subsidize other folk’s new car purchases, why can’t they buy me a new table saw? Or drill press?
I mean, if we are going to redistribute the wealth, let’s do it right! Personally, I would like to see some of this stimulus money making its way to the woodworking and DIY community. After all, my favorite vendor is doing their part. Free Freight on Jet and Powermatic tools at Rockler!
That’s what I think.
Sure, I know the car companies are suffering. But why is that? Because of mismanagement and outrageous union deals. I know; hard-working, blue-collar, yada, yada, yada. Bull feces and bollocks. The auto workers have become another entitlement program.
And when the big three couldn’t afford to pay their extortion any more, the government took over (our money). When the government couldn’t make people buy cars from them, they came up with Cash for Clunkers (our money).
The health care thing is going nowhere fast. People are starting to understand that socialized medical care is not really the right way to go. Do you want a government proctologist? Do we really want the people that run the post office running our health care? Check the price of stamps lately? They’re even trying to sell them on the Internet now. Unsuccessfully. Nuff’ said.
So if Obama is going to redistribute the wealth, why not throw some my way? I don’t want a new car, I want tools! Anybody want to organize a DIY union? It’s a great idea; I think I’ll do it. UWDIY. United Workers of Do It Yourself.
OK, I hereby establish UWDIY local #1 right here. To sign up, email me at admin@icanfixupmyhome.com. Get the ball rolling and I’ll come up with t-shirts and bumper stickers.
