I'm wondering why the gubbermint doesn't invite willing US citizens to go to New Orleans and Galveston and be paid to do demolition work on the hundreds of thousands of homes along the coast destroyed by Katrina and Ike.
Seems like this stimulus money could be better invested by cleaning up the mess instead of just taking old cars off the road. That could have been very easily accomplished by adding a clunker tax to any vehicle that is of a certain age or gets poor fuel economy.
Uh oh. My boxster is old and gets crappy mileage. I better be careful what I recommend.
