LIBERAL LOGIC! Hope these #s are valid ! Interesting? And if they aren’t, they still shouldn’t receive all the perks they do to go along with it. Can you see where more cuts should be?? Cash for Clunkers The person who calculated this bit of information is now, and has been a professor at the University of West Virginia in Morgantown for the last forty some years. He says that: A clunker that travels 12,000 miles a year at 15 mpg uses 800 gallons of gas a year. A new vehicle that travels 12,000 miles a year at 25 mpg uses 480 gallons of gas a year. So, the average Cash for Clunkers transaction reduced gasoline consumption by 320 gallons per year. The government claims 700,000 clunkers were replaced so that is 224 million gallons saved per year. That equates to a bit over 5 million barrels of oil. 5 million barrels is about 5 hours worth of US consumption. More importantly, 5 million barrels of oil at $90 per barrel costs about $450 million dollars. So, the government paid $3 billion of our tax dollars to save $450 million. They spent $6.67 for every $1.00 they saved. Weve been assured, though, that they will do a much better job with our health care. Think about this one. Salary of retired USPresidents .............$180,000 FOR LIFE Salary of House/Senate ......................$174,000 FOR LIFE This is stupid Salary of Speaker of the House .............$223,500 FOR LIFE! This is really stupid Salary of Majority/Minority Leaders ....... $193,400 FOR LIFE! Ditto last line Average Salary of a teacher .............. $40,065 Average Salary of Soldier DEPLOYED IN AFGHANISTAN....... $38,000 Think about this. Nancy Pelosi will retire as a Congress Person at $174,000 Dollars a year for LIFE. She has retired as SPEAKER at $223,500 a year. PLUS she will receive an additional $193,400 a year as Minority Leader. That’s $803,700 Dollars a year for LIFE including FREE medical which is not available to US...the taxpayers? She is just one of the hundreds of Senators and Congress that float in and out every year! I think we found where the cuts should be made! If you agree ..... pass it on, I just did.
