Cash For Souls
“I have a contract for you,” smiled the tall, thin man in a black suit with a straight and properly anointed, and as black tie, too. His broad grin parts to ease your concerns, “All your dreams can come true. Simply sign on the dotted line. And do not worry, it will not cost you anything you need in this life.” Like many Americans, just would do that? Measured at the fair, which we are obviously in those days would be a lot of people. You know, it’s a pact with the devil, literally, but hey, what have you got to lose? Promises, Promises everywhere, but rarely one that will be held, at least in the way you think it will. In the 2007 film version of the Marvel comic book character Ghost Rider, Johnny Blaze is a stranger in the night, a demon named Mephisto, who has just visited such an agreement. To save his father from what is now terminal cancer that wants everyone to Mephisto in return for the soul of the boy who would do anything to save his father. The deal is struck and the next morning his father is cured of cancer and healthy. But it did so in a dark turn as Johnny’s father dies implementation of a circus trick for a little while after the message. The project was met, but was apparently the fine print of what is really important. Recognized he was cheated, Blaze tried to run. He has hops motorcycle, leaving his childhood sweetheart and his whole life behind to try and escape from the transaction. But you can not escape evil Mephisto and finally finds him and gives him with dark powers to do his dirty work for him to claim his soul. Granted, it’s all in the movies, but we still have a lot of people that their souls in the real world by the appearance of things. Recently we had the cash to clunk, a program in which manufacturers, distributors and many in the buying public a pact with the devil. . . uh, I mean the government. Same thing I know. Participation, which is the expenditure of funds from the Treasury … well, actually not even from the Treasury because we will run a deficit. Actually, the business expenditure of money at stake the future of both himself and other Americans and all the children and future children of Americans are gathered up to offer financial incentives for the purchase of new vehicles (approved by the government) and trade in those old ” Curiously Strong “for the destruction, even though many of them (the vast majority in fact) nor in a beautiful state. Car dealers and manufacturers have a nice gift for their business for the few weeks that the program was in effect. People who are take advantage of a government ready to support them “free” money available has also a nice reward for their own end of this pact with the devil. Now? Well, the fine print came to showrooms across the country are like ghost towns now, again, that the program has ended. Some reports even worse sales than before the invention of Cash for clunk program. People, the cars will be needed or wanted only one thing bought. Now who is left? Well, let’s just say that there are people who do not need or want new cars not to do and encouraged the industry without having to sit “free” money on the table. The sad sacks in the media fell all over himself, how great did they report sales of cars, while Cash-for-clunk was in effect. Never mind that the government paid them at the time that was promised, and only once they started, which became publicly known how poor a job doing government things will change. If they sound familiar? The little fact about the government was often overlooked. Everything that was thing that at the time the cars were made to the lots and out of the showrooms. Anyone who needed or wanted a new car or thinking that they need or want a new car sometime in the near future would be increased sales for a few weeks. Now comes the crash. Oops. Maybe you should have read the fine print. Yes, we still had good because economics tells us that if we artificially inflate demand for a product in the short term, you crash and burn long term. If you hang ram six months of the sale in a few weeks before the carrot with a stubborn consumers go too well, the rest of the week for the six months to go painfully slow for the economy. So many Americans only saw the treaty, laid before them, and thought it sounded good to them. After all the money spent is not theirs. Or was it? Well, yes and no. The money, which she has accepted to come from somewhere eventually, and it will come out of all of our wallets, either due to the higher costs paid by industry, deflated heap of dollars by overcharging debt or other economic factor that rules the natural order of the universe. There is also money that comes from the pockets of our children, all of our children. But hey, it lasted not cost us anything in the here and now, right? It just cost us our immortal souls, as we have the rights of others to take money out of pocket to pay for our needs and desires of today injured. The problem with selling your soul is, however, that you only sell one. That means you can only sell once. Unless you buy them back, what is and we all know that the devil is never on the souls it has taken. Thus, every time you sell your soul after the first sale, you are only the souls of your children and your children and so on today for “free money”. But they have a whole life time to figure out how to fix this mess right? What is really important is that you get what you thought was coming now to you. Right?
