Oil prices are on the rise, which is driving up prices at the pump. Economics for dummies would dictate they should be falling. [4]

Out-of-work, out-of-hope homeless people living in Bushvillesno longer need cheap gasoline to go shopping for all that affordable "stuff" the Fed financed so we could trash the planet.

And those Americans who are still employed will find it harder to get that sweet deal on a new car because auto dealers won't be competing with each other now that Brian Deese, special assistant to President Obama for economic policy made the decision (not the Chrysler bankruptcy judge), to close dealerships without regard to profitability.

Deese, age 31, in his first government position, shuffles back and forth from the West Wing to the Treasury Department dismantling the US Auto Industry and rewriting the rules of American "capitalism". [5]

Deese's first rule: Withdraw Credit and Liquidity.

Result Catch 22:

The pullback in spending causes companies to cut back on inventory and staff - creating unemployment.

Which causes spending to fall and companies to cut back on inventory and staff -creating more unemployment.

Causing spending to fall even further, forcing companies to cut back on inventory and staff - creating even more unemployment"

Unemployed Americans Don't Need Health care (Euthanasia should be a Right not a Privilege)

Elizabeth McCaughey, former lieutenant governor of New York said older Americans should be worried about Page 425 of the Health Care Bill, which she claims has the government sponsoring suicide education.

Her claim that Congress would make it mandatory that every five years, people in Medicare have a required counseling session that will tell them "how to end their life sooner, how to decline nutrition, how to decline being hydrated, how to go into hospice care," got her a "pants on fire" rating.

The claim has nonetheless spread like wildfire, being repeated not just on blogs and radio shows but by Republican members of Congress because as Committee Chairman Thaddeus McCotter (R-MI), pointed out "this provision may start us down a treacherous path toward government-encouraged euthanasia if enacted into law."

Why can't we go down the "Right and Dignity to Die" path? [6]
