Clunkers wasn't a loan, it was a rebate.  It doesnt allow people to buy cars they cant afford, it just gives them the confidence to start spending again.  Which is exactly what you want to do in "this situation."

Are you seriously trying to blame CARS for the lower value of a used car?  Something that has been a part consumerism since Ug sold his used spear for a rabbit skin?  Not even Mr. Fantastic himself could make a stretch like that. 

Stop posting.

I think it is funny to see him using personal attacks so shortly after he stopped talking to PP for the same reason (and Peter didn't even attack him).

well if he finally stopped beating his wife , its ok to attack others now

And once again with tail between his legs, the subject is changed.  

The ironic part is that FreeEnterprise, and hyper-conservatives like him, are the ones preventing the Republican party from recovering. Forum Republicans - until you get guys like FE out of your party, you're doomed. I know I've said it before, but it's the same as the Democrats when split over the segregation issue. You have to get the crazy ones out of your party.

Even on this forum it seems like he has done more harm than good for his own "side." I quote side because being crazy and posting non-sequiturs when proven wrong time and time again isn't really a side.

By being a caricature of his own neo-conservative aura, I hope he has influenced a lot of people here to look up things for themselves, and I hope they have discovered the truth for themselves. Or at least read what others post in rebuttal to FE's tantrums and come out smarter from it.

He kind of acts as a sort of moving practice target. He argues the nonsensical, and people refute it with fact.

Hopefully, in the end, people here will read the fact that people post against FE and become smarter because of it.

i guarantee you that if republicans were following the exact path of obama, FE would support every single move.

p.s. nobody cares about your printing business. i work in a grocery store and we hire several new people each week. so your argument is a moot point
