Ben Bernanke's Quantitative Easing part 2 was barely a blip on the radar screen for national news. Overshadowed by the election news, the story was squeezed in as a lead in to a human interest story. Probably the biggest pocketbook story of the day was treated as an offhanded twenty second blip!

The president is going to spend 200 million dollars a day of our tax money for a ten day trip to India. He's taking forty planes and 3000 people and 34 war ships. This is outrageous!

Betty Sutton defeated Tom Ganley to retain her congressional seat. Betty is the lefty loon that came up with the brilliant "cash for clunkers" legislation. This program was the stupidest, most moronic program that could possibly be devised. Think of all the energy that was consumed to manufacture those gas guzzling vehicles. To replace those vehicles, another manufacturing process had to take place. The manufacturing process alone canceled out any reduction in emissions that may have resulted... and the taxpayer had to cough up $5,000.00 to bribe that person to crush their 2002 V8 Ford Explorer.
So I want to say thank you to Betty Sutton. Why? Three years after I purchased my 2002 V8 Ford Explorer, the same dealer sent me a letter to let me know that they were experiencing a shortage of my type of vehicle (Golly Gee, I wonder why? I guess a bunch of them got crushed). They said based on condition they were able to offer me up to "x" amount of dollars for my vehicle. It just so happens that "x" turns out to be $1000.00 more than I paid for it!
Supply and demand ... that's called a "market force" Betty ... you dumb, dumb, lame excuse for a congresswoman! It's ironic that she beat out the owner of a string of car dealerships. He could have run on that single plank ... cash for clunkers ... and beaten her. Instead he falls victim to some conveniently timed sexual harassment allegation that Betty dredged up from the past.
