Warm it up, Dell - appliance rebates contained within the stimulus package come later this year

Give me a break. Part of this whole BS was the benefit to the environment. If you think saving a half a day of fuel/year and 20 Hrs of 'greenhouse gas emissions' over a 10 year period was worth it so be it. We at least did get a glimpse of what the government considers a success when 2,000 workers failed to process 690,000 rebate forms over the 30 days. Lets see that’s 345 per worker over 30 days or roughly 11 a day (oops they get w/e's off make it 17/day). Now consider how much more complicated an insurance form is and they want to run health care? Funny in a sick way. By the way if your insurance won’t cover you Cook County Hospital (oops now Stroger Hospital) will take you tonight. ChucklestheClown says it’s better than Northwestern Memorial and he’s been to both.

Yes, but the overwhelming main purpose was to stimulate the economy. Which it did very well.

I'm serious about the appliance rebates. Get your blood pressure up now (but you don't have to trade anything in)

The actual stimlus provided by Cash for Clunkers is a few drops of water in a 10 gallon bucket. Saying it will provide anything more than a brief and unsustainable blip on the car sales radar screen is silly.

She knows that and knows the environmental benefit is a couple drops in Lake Michigan but never let the truth and or common sense get in the way of people who 'get it'. Whatever 'it' is it's nothing good.

Dell, which of the next two weekends are you making an appearance at the Spa? I'll buy you five beers and we can have a more fun debate on this subject.

we were going to come last w/e but work etc. Guess next trip will be BC.

I've spent numerous days, dinners and nights with GBbob and Chuck and politics rarely ever come up. In fact almost never. Guess we all know where we stand.
