I don't think I can help you understand it since I don't understand it either. But, I don't think we are looking in the right places when we start blaming one party. They are both corrupt and cater only to their strongest and wealthiest constituencies. The problem is that our government is no longer set up to allow a self-thinking individual to lead.Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17480046958714954128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7595939118294550592.post-37611421871983459972009-08-08T16:44:44.396-07:002009-08-08T16:44:44.396-07:00Who was the largest contributor to the Obama campa...Who was the largest contributor to the Obama campaign?

Instead of giving that money to a few, he should put it towards making "Green" cars more affordable for everyone. Or purhaps the dealers should give people the value of the metal, wruber, and plastic for recycling their old car. Put it towards the purchase of a new or newer car. Yes, money is made from trees and the more government prints, the lower the value of the dollor goes.
