Will the next "Cash for Clunkers" be for TVs?

trade-in your old TV cellphone radio stereo home-phone & get $3500.00_1000.00 cash-back!

I think people will be on their own for this one, maybe fined if they don't get a better tv, obama has got to raise money some way to pay for that HC;-)

I don't know about that; he is probably counting on getting the health care done and then adding this into the Cap & Trade bill. It would be a way to buy some votes from California not that he needs them there.

I did hear they were about to launch an appliance clunker bill

I think that someone on this poll posted that stores are already advertising the clunkers deal.

No more of these bullshit government programs

I agree - Enough is enough already.

Hmmm ... wonder how an energy-efficient TV works? Can you get cable or is Direct TV better? Are these the ones that are to have the little chip that lets someone watch what you are watching to make sure you are not a deviant? Or, is this just another Soros and Gore bye-in? Can't say, life isn't getting interesting ....

I know. It seems that every time you turn around something else has been deemed a basic right. It used to be that you had to work for what you had and now the government is giving stuff to you. Free phone service, free cell phone service - I just wonder what freebie is going to be next.

The more the government can convince that its okay to take and its your basic right to do so, the more they will continue to grow and take more so they can convince you that it is your basic right to take so they (the government) can continue to take more so they can convince that its okay to take ....

I agree and until we stand up to the federal government and tell them enough is enough - Stop the insanity now, they will continue until they have total control over every aspect of our lives.

Do you have a plan?

Work together to get every one of these spread the wealth liberals voted out of office and return the federal government to a leaner more accountable public servant.

Okay, here's a start ... Vote 2010! Every single person who is running for office from your local dogcatcher to your governor that has a (D) after their name, vote no! Remember (D) means don't! We cannot allow another Progressive Democrat to hold any office if at all possible. Now that this is out of the way, keep track of those Repubs and Independents now in the House and Congress who are siding with Obama ... vote them out also! Lastly, the encumbants that nobody has challenged, fill in your favorite movie star, cartoon character, friend, or spouse ... this sends the message, we don't want you! Hope this helps ... granted some good people might be caught in the net, but we can't take the chance of another Progressive getting in. Then come 2012 do the same. Anyone with a (D) means don't! Then we should have a nice mix of conservatives and liberals through the Repubs, Independents, and Libertarians without the destructiveness of a Progressive. In time, I think we will see the original Democrat Party start to reform ... its the best thing we can do for them to get them back on their feet.

Excellent start. As for the incumbent Republicans, we need to keep each other informed as to which are good ones and which are bad ones so that we can work to get the bad ones out. I personally have one of the good ones for my district.

Rule of thumb still leave blank or add another name. This does send a message that they better wake up! Too many get too complacent and this is the only way to let them know that we are watching ... :-)

It's the right of every American to own a Playstation 3.

(or maybe just this one, but I think it should be a law)

I want a new computer since mine is so old now - Do you think they will ever have a "Cash for Clunkers" for computers?

It should be a basic right for everyone to have email, be on social networking sites and blog -Shouldn't it - NOT!!

LOL! Free stuff for everyone!

Everyone is getting free stuff except for the people actually paying the bills. It is not fair!!

Stop paying the bills! I think that's how it works!

I know but then they sic the IRS on you and send you to jail.

oh. I'll have to think about this some more.

lol

They must check to see first how you voted cause I'm poor and ain't nobody offered ME free anything......................

Me either - they will probably start requiring that you declare your party affiliation before you are allowed to vote. In Virginia, you are not required to do this yet.

Thank God and by the way congratulations !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It wouldn't surprise me, after they spent all those dollars on the conversion boxes, they will get rid of them as well because of the older TVs. If it works in California, than they will want all the other states to get involved. Big brother is determined to have control of our private lives. All those that put up all those beautiful Christmas lights better watch out for some future control there. I am for more the brighter.

The Christmas lights will probably be regulated some where in the Cap & Trade (Crooks & Thieves) bill. Undoubtedly, you will be allocated a certain amount of electricity each month and have to pay a penalty for any overages.

Wanda, I think you are right on the money with that one.

Why not make one for all home appliances? Kill all the birds with one stone...

Who knows it is probably already in the works in one of these 1,000+ page bills.

They better stay away from my house and my TV's and my power. Big Brother needs to take a hike!

I agree; but I also think all these giveaways need to stop. Someone sooner or later is going to have to pay the bill; you & I both know that the people doing the paying will be the American taxpayers.

It will be our grandchildren but I think they will be paying with their freedom as well as their money. They will be economic and social slaves.

Which is exactly what a certain segment of the government wants us to be - economic slaves.

the new TV's will be more energy efficient by filtering out the content the government feels will hinder their progress .... LOL ... that sounds like a lunatic fringe sort of comment, don't it? In reality this will do what all Dim policies do should it come to fruition - waste money we don't have to do things we don't need to do for people who don't need them done.

The government does everything ass backwards.

For every job that the Cash for Clunkers generated, there were other peoples jobs lost because of this program - like the small repair shops, service stations, used car dealers, junk dealers. By getting all those used cars off the road, the unintended consequence was that the people who serviced those cars are no longer needed.

Also, the people who need a reliable car but cannot afford to buy a new car got shafted with higher prices on what used cars are left.

When will the federal government stop looking only at the short time benefits without also looking at the long time consequences!!

cash for clunkers suck

Yes it does.

one fam ily member did it, i was so my mad
but it was noine of my businnes
