It’s just another form of wealth redistribution. How long before they have a program to burn down your existing house in order to qualify for a low-interest loan on a new one to stimulate the housing industry? It makes as much sense.
It’s a good thing they don’t think there’s a need to stimulate the mortuary industry...
Cash for your old books.
Cash for your old PC.
Cash for your old guns.
Cash for your old photos.
Cash for your old memories.
Cash for your old grandma.
Nah, we don’t need a boost to the Mortuary industry. Didn’t you know that’s in the plan to help cut health care costs?
They do. It was that cap and trade bill that required you to bring an existing house up to some arbitrary level of environmental compliance before selling it. Last year I sold a house that had parts that were over one century old. How much do you think it would cost to bring it up to compliance?
I'm glad I was able to sell it.
And some people still fly the flag and claim we live in a free country. Wake up, you're a slave. We saw the road to serfdom and said "Time for a road trip".
