Not My Clunker

Today I overheard a friend of mine on the phone talking about cash for clunkers. My friend isn’t a politically active person. As a matter of fact I can’t say she ever brings politics up as a topic for discussion. She’s more the busy homemaker. She however made a really good point. I like my clunker! The person she was talking to was trying to tell her. She needed to trade her car in (obviously some one who drank the liberal kool-aid). My friend surprised me when she told her friend that she liked her clunker, not for the fact of the statement but more so her follow-up. She immediately went on to the point that incurring a payment was ridiculous. She would not only have to make a payment that was out of her budget but, she would also have to increase her insurance. From what I’m not sure but the insurance on a new car has to be full coverage. That’s got to be a big increase over what she pays for her early two-thousand Chevy blazer. She also made the point that she would more then likely have trouble finding parts when she does have to make repairs

I sat there thinking that this girl of twenty two years of age will not be trapped by the false premise of this so called cash for clunkers. She understands the problems with the program, why can’t a politician?
