SNAFU

[pallis]

The bigger government and bureaucracy get, the more idiotic they become. FEMA can use some trimming down.

This policy makes about as much sense as the "cash for clunkers" program which took thousands of older operating vehicles off the market.

I had one such vehicle which I tried to trade in at the time, but every car which interested us was at least inflated by the $4000 or so which the artificial trade-in value would have gotten us.

Gee, what a coincidence, I thought!

But it did have the effect of pricing those cars higher. The spring after the program ended, I got nearly that by selling the vehicle on Craig's List. The buyer still didn't get a bad deal-- he could see my car was a lot better maintained than the average car of that vintage.

Somebody within FEMA signed off on this "rule"...his/her name is at the top of the list:

..I want this person to be named, and to offer the criteria to make such a rule....why?...when?...and what for/...

....maybe he/she could convince the rest of us that he/she is really not as stupid as this makes he/she look.....

....maybe??...
