The Auto Industry Bailout with a Main Street Twist
Whether or not to bailout the beleaguered auto industry was all the talk of the Sunday talk shows. Most folks think the American Auto industry has been playing a poor game of catch up to Asian car markers and has caused most if not all of the problems they find themselves in. While their is a huge consensus for the causes of the auto industry debacle, the real debate centers around whether or not the government should bail them out. Lots of different bailout schemes are being touted, but none of them seem to have much to offer the American Public. So here is my suggestion, if we want to save our auto industry, let's give every American who buys an American car a $2000 refundable tax credit in the year of purchase--in addition, why not guarantee car loans to qualified buyers at a 6 percent interest rate. If folks could get a car loan at 6 percent and a $2000 refundable tax credit for buying American made cars, we'd all be lining up to trade in our cars for new ones. Everybody wins.

FLACK OR FRICTION
FLACK: The inability to have sex is a disability protected by the federal anti-discrimination laws. I can't make this stuff up.
This ruling by the appellate court gives a state department employee another chance at overseas employment. What I don't get and hopefully someone will explain this to me, is how being sexually incapacitated is related to State Department employment, or more particularity overseas State Department employment.
FLACK: Oh really, Proctor and Gamble won its case in the U.K.--Pringles are NOT potato chips. So says Proctor and Gamble and the UK courts agree. They have only 42% potato products in them and are not fried but rather baked from a dough. This makes it a food and not a snack--which means no 17.5% sales take for the U.K.
FRICTION---- What is this big hoopla about 900 cases of salmonella poisoning over a six-week-period over the entire nation. I mean, sure, I sorry that 900 folks got sick---but I gotta believe that is about average. Frankly, I think we have bigger problems to solve---a whole lot more than 900 people are feeling the wounds of too high gas prices, too high food prices, and a president who says "he feels our pain". Even if we find out how this salmonella was spread--it won't stop salmonella--it will happen again--it's nature. So call me and alarm me when it is 900 people in one city that are sick---that is a REAL problem.
