Who is Raining on Your Memorial Day Parade?
The Memorial Day weekend traditionally has been the first getaway weekend of the summer. A chance to kick back, take a road trip or hop or plane and to visit relatives. Not this year.
It 2008, when the price of gasoline began to approach $4 a gallon, the Smiths complained that they had to take out a second mortgage on the old homestead just to fill up the family car. In 2011, as gasoline prices topped $4 a gallon, the Smiths are upside down on their mortgage(s). Dad is working two part-time jobs and still doesn’t make what he did at the full-time job he lost when his company was downsized. There is no more wiggle room.

“Cash for Clunkers” RIP
The Cash for Clunkers program has come and gone and if you think RIP stands for Rest in Peace, think again. It’s just plain old “rip” as in rip-off, a reverse Robin Hood, a giant hoax perpetrated on we poor saps known as taxpayers.
The final data is in. Some 690,114 cars were sold that were subsidized by “we the people” to the tune of $2.877 billion dollars plus the cost of servicing the additional debt. Our country is broke, remember?
The Obama Administration called the program “wildly successful.” There is something seriously wrong with this picture. Read the rest of this entry »
