Eleven years ago today, near the bottom of the worst recession in generations, I signed the Recovery Act, paving the way for more than a decade of economic growth and the longest streak of job creation in American history. pic.twitter.com/BmdXrxUAUf
lol, cash for clunkers. I was working part time in an auto garage at the time. There was one guy in the neighboring garage who was running an impound/junkyard. They ran a great racket where they took a "clunker", faked the paperwork that they destroyed the engine, and shipped the used cars off to Puerto Rico. The local dealerships were "outsourcing" all their labor to them in this matter....there had to be some sort of kickbacks going on.
I often wondered if the mob thought up the scam because there were a few occasions where he got the inside info on a bunch of merchandise that "fell off a truck". You could literally go to a warehouse, give them $200 and leave with a laptop or a big screen TV.
Y'all remember that time in 2009 when I fixed the shitty economy Obama inherited from Bill Clinton? Whew it was so easy, all I had to do was mentally will dumb ass Obama to cut all of the billionaires that destroyed the country a billion dollar Check. Then to make sure no growth happened for eight years, I then mentally willed ObamaI(he's so malleable and feckless) to pass so much regulation that no small businesses could compete with all the billionaires I made Obama give billions of dollars to. I even put in a good word for the Duck. He really loved that black son of a bitch.
It only took 10 years for Clash for Clunkers to work!
