What is the real reason our troops are fighting in Afghanistan and Pakistan?
Who benefits the most from the cash for clunkers programs?
Why is the stock market going up?
I have developed a hypothesis as to the answers of these questions, but I would like to know your thoughts.

My answers are as follows........
1. Money... pure and simple. My best friend is the head of purchasing at Lockheed and lives out here next to us in Peaster. I was shocked at how much money changes hands (in parts replacement support alone) for companies like Lockheed and Bell. Aint no other reason. I heard a couple of years ago there was some HUGE ASS pipeline that HAD to go across Afgan. ????
2. GM owns sole control of the major salvage pools and wrecking yards up north and nobody knows it. The cash for clunkers is bullshit. When you factor the basic core credits on one vehicle alone...ie.. starter, radiator, blocks, steel, air condit parts, etc... They are really not giving folks anything. You and I just have no way to harvest the cash out of the junk like the big companies do.
3. The stock market is going up because rich folks are still greedy and whatever the little guy is going thru really has nothing to do with the wealthy folks in the world. Thnere is already so much wealth seperation in this world it is scary. I read somewhere the other day that 70% of the world's population do not live in a "permanen"t structure and 60% do not eat in a regular pattern. Stocks are going up because rich folks finally got tired of acting poor. Obama scared the shit out of the money folks in this country and ONCE AGAIN, his actions are not REALLY affecting the rich folks in this country, so they have calmed down and went back to doing their thing. They will give up a few points in income tax and not holler too bad as long as the market will keep floating. BECAUSE, we can never forget a rich guy doesn't really have to work that hard anymore to maintain that lifestyle. Climbing that hill is another story.
What do you think?

For enough "money" we have always been able to get stuff done when it comes to a car or a title. For example, for years we have been able to "scrub" or "clean up" a title in Arkansas. The state was riddled with corruption in the motor vehicle division and we could take a salvage title (totaled vehicle) and turn said title into a normal Arkansas title issued to a fake buyer with a fake name. When we received the title all we already had the vehicle sitting at the auction in OKC, ready to sell. Buyer never knew what hit them. When I say "WE" I am meaning the industry as a whole....... Crossing state lines, mail fraud, etc...
On the cash for junk deal they are suppossed to knock the motors out of them and the govt collects them. AS I emailed you earlier, the vehicles are starting to stack up at the Manheim Auction in Dallas and the motors aint knocked out of any of them. IF they do ruin the motors, I WILL GUARAN-DAMN-TEE YOU THEY WILL BE SOLD INTO MEXICO, MOTORS REBUILT (WINK WINK), TITLES SCRUBBED, AND BE SOLD RIGHT BACK UP HERE ON EVERY JUNK MEXICAN CAR LOT ON JACKSBORO HIGHWAY..........
And there you have the cash for clunkers deal in a nutshell. Total gvmt. bullshit......
Ok, class.
Let's sum up. The chapter test will be on Friday.
1) Money. Certain companies benefit royaly however the focus is not on the war/Obama connection the way it was with Bush....in fact, I haven't seen a "Troops death count" in a while.
2) GM/Gvmt. It will br a few months before the Cash for Clunkers wrinkle gets ironed out. But any way you slice it....it was a huge failure.
3)Speculation. The Buffets of the world panicked when you guys elected Obama our leader. Now that they have found a way to keep most of their money they realize the market ebbs and flows according to their actions. Thus, causing them to buy and sell with less caution.

Just another idea to make the dumb public think that Porkulus is working.

I have developed a hypothesis as to the answers of these questions, but I would like to know your thoughts.
1.) Oil= money and we go after both. Daddy & Baby Bush and their peers are oil-men. Makes sense that they would push a war and keep it going forever.
2.) Oil companies benefit by keeping the gas-hogs on the roads and dealorships by selling new cars to replace the old. Scrap doesn't sell like it used too...so unless one would have tons of scrap and could wait the market out i.e. could store it until prices swing back up it is worthless right now...at least to the average Joe. In the end it'll benefit some "Rich Assholes" who will figure out yet one more way to profit from a crisis. They are masters at screwing the pooch.
3.) To fool the public into a false sense of security thus be able to hang onto the status quo longer and more investing will be done. Plus, the rich always find a way to swoop in and make profit from the losses of others. They'll make a profit even if the rest of the world falls off the face of the earth.
Why doesn't Barry Green comment on this blog
1. War.. we need to keep our fighting troops fighting, and will continue to recruit and raise the number of enlisted, until the day that all the troops are recalled to keep the current government in power.
2. After Chrysler filed bankruptcy in the 80's, the government bailed them out with purchase orders for Chrysler vehicles, does anyone remember all of the state and federal agencies that drove nothing but Chrysler's.
3. I have heard that 60% of the worlds wealth was lost in the last 18 months, it was not lost it was transferred. We are now entering the great sugar rush of 2009. Those that inflated the price of oil last year to guarantee that Obama had is failure in the Bush administration to point at, will also manipulate the market so to convince everyone to jump back in. Once everyone is "all in" those 60 percenters will take their cash and walk away, leaving everyone without a dime in their 401k's. Once we have a society where no one can make it without social security, you have a society that is dependent on the government for everything as it ages. On the other end there is no work for those entering the workforce, except for those who work for the government. Again, dependence on government for everything. If you have a society that depends on the Government, then you have a society that will support the growth of that government, slowly but surly giving away their freedoms one by one. See the answer to #1.
