ca$h for clunker$ @ stealership

I agree completely. What galls me is the arrogance of these Congressman. They act like royalty, impervious to how the rest of the world lives.

As an example, as one bill come forward that has addressed how the USA will be economically competitive with the rest of the world?

How about the vanishing industrial base?

Instead, I hear BO feels that all US Citizens have a RIGHT to healthcare and a RIGHT to higher education. I guess we have a RIGHT to a new car too.

How can this nonsense be tolerated>?

A chicken is every pot was never true.

Doesn't the Federal Government already have the power to look at your financial records through the immense power of the IRS!!

Yes they do, but in fairly narrowly defined way, using a little thing we like to call Probable Cause.

Even in a random IRS audit the IRS can only use your income as reported by your employer or you Bank or financial institutions. If they want to probe deeper, they must first seek a warrant after first presenting Probable Cause before an elected magistrate (who acts on your behalf to protect your personal freedoms).
