Glad to know their aims – the destruction of industry, human resources, and capitalism. I wonder how many dead people worth of carbon this clunkers program saves. People are “carbon polluters” and “population experts” have already done the math to show the amount of carbon produced by each person over a lifetime. Those stats are part two of the envirowaste agenda – first industry, then people. In the UK there are government porkers advising reduced weight, population, and fewer children to save the environment – despite a minimal birth rate among Brits and an explosion in immigrant births from the Middle East.

In tree hugger eyes the planet will be best when the evil of humanity is erased from mother Gaia. Only Western people need reduce. The third world is doing just fine with their poverty, wars, illiteracy, and chronic diseases. It doesn’t get more organic over there.

They probably have research that tells them 50% of so of readers only look at the first paragraph. And here is what the first paragraph says:

“”Cash for clunkers” could have the same effect on global warming pollution as shutting down the entire country — every automobile, every factory, every power plant — for an hour per year. That could rise to three hours if the program is extended by Congress and remains as popular as it is now.”

To me, without knowing what is in the rest of the article, it sounds very impressive. One small program equivalent to shutting down the country for 3 hours. Heck, that’s a major impact, at face vaue.

Yet, the AP maintains it’s “journalistic integrity” by giving the other side of the story in the parts that fewer people will read.

And for those readers with a few additional moments to read on, here is the money quote from the propagandists:

“the U.S. spewed last year:”

The number doesn’t matter. The word spew is the propaganda master stroke……because, remember, the AP is a “news organization”, and if they choose a word like “spew”, the situation must be extremely dire.

Honestly. It’s like a bunch of kids are brainstorming about where to set off a stink-bomb. These so-called intellectuals are brandishing their lack of real-life experience so badly that it’s just beyond understanding.

If any one of them had a lick of real experience, this whole thing would never have happened or, would have been managed far, far better.

Someone in the government last night….and I cannot remember who, said that the infusion of 2 MORE billion Obama-bucks will allow the program to continue “at least until October”.

HelloooOOOoooooo! Anybody home? The first bil was spent in a week. To say nothing of the paperwork processing and how the rejects are going to work for someone who turned in a “not older vehicle that got 18mpg or worse” and has to give the new car back….but their “clunker” is already destroyed.

How will THAT play into the mix?

And, thousands of temp workers have been hired to handle the paperwork overflow that NOBODY ANTICIPATED!

It just makes me sick. Idiots. We’re surrounded by idiots.

Therein lies the real problem, there’s so much MORE the government could be doing to drive us into the ground over carbon emissions, and for much less money!
