BID2OWN.ORG NEWSFLASH

Above is the newest YouTube video of GM's 2008 Chevy Malibu Hybrid car. This car is for sale on http://bid2own.org. This particular car has approximately 11,000 miles on it. It is in great condition and has never been in a wreck. The auto gets about 33 miles to the gallon on the road and 25 miles to the gallon in town. The interior has a light and dark grey accent.

The exterior also has pizazz for its price and family sedan description. The thicker body style with the chrome accents really gives the car presense. And in the case of the bid2own.org Malibu, the Bentley emblem makes others' eyes turn.

I researched the internet for 2008 Chevy Malibu hybrid. There is not a lot of information out there because the distribution was limited last year. But, customer interest was high and the 2009 changed very little. I found that in comparison to the other Toyota and Honda Hybrids, the Chevy Malibu Hybrid was cheaper and the interior appointments were much better. The seats were far more comfortable and roomier that the competition. The car is soo... quiet. More details including photos on the Chevy Malibu hybrid can be found at http://thegarageblog.com/garage/2009-chevrolet-malibu-hybrid.

Now you just can't resist purchasing this auto. Go to the http://bid2own.org website, purchase a $100.00 auction fee. Then wait until all the auction fees are purchased (In this case, only 260 people need to purchase an auction fee). Once all the auction fees are purchased you will be notified by email three times, to bid on the Chevy Malibu Hybrid.

The bidding process is simple and lasts 7 days. All offers are taken on-line only. The 260 Auction Fee holders only bid against each other. So your chances of getting this vehicle are pretty good.

The starting bid can be $1.00. You place your bid and then watch others bid against you. You can put in a high bid and the computer will automatically increase your bid over others until someone reaches your price. Your high price is not shown to others of course. You can watch others bidding against you by clicking the "bid history" box when the item is in the bid mode. You can raise your bid price at any time. The highest bidder at the end of the bid process wins the Chevy Malibu.

Those losing Auction Fee holders for the Chevy Malibu can receive a partial credit toward another item on Bid2Own.Org. The partial credit is determined by the amount of the bid received by Bid2Own.Org, less Bid2Own.Org expenses. That difference is then divided among the 259 losing Auction Fee holders.


NEWSFLASH

Most of us are too busy concentrating on our own budgets to really understand the government's budget. The government spending numbers surely sound astounding. But our current government spending numbers need to be compared to previous spending numbers so we can measure the differences. We need to compare the past to the current.

We know we are in a tough recession. And to get out of the recession, the government must help our sick economy. The real question is how much of this spending is a complete necessity and how much is just fruitless spending with little or no benefits to our economy. I'm not sure the average public will every know.

I did hear some interesting statistics on Sean Hannity the other night though. President Obama is spending $1.2 trillion dollars this year alone. He has also passed enough "Stimulus Money" equivalent to over $10 trillion over the next ten years. What does that mean?

President Obama has committed to more spending than all the presidents combined, since George Washington. So far, President Carter gave President Reagan a worse set of circumstances than we have today. Interest rates were higher than 18% causing businesses to fail everywhere. President Reagan inherited President Carter's problems. President Reagan was accused of excessive spending. His spending went to the private sector businesses rather than for new government jobs. The private sector businesses create gross national product and pay taxes that go toward government debt. President Reagan saved our economy then and gave us great success for years following his presidency.

Government spending to our Gross National Product during President Reagan's term was 3%. President Bush's government spending to Gross National Product was 2%. President Obama's spending to Gross National Product is 13%. 13% sounds scarry to me when compared to other presidents, but you decide. I am also concerned about President Obama's current spending toward government jobs instead of private sector jobs. The government does not make things, therefore it cannot provide any Gross National Products that we can collect additional tax dollars. That means the deficit will get worse.

What do you think President Reagan did that helped our economy out?

Do you think President Obama is doing the right thing? Tell me why. http://bid2own@msn.com.
