Helping the little guy

[liberty]

There's an old country song that goes like this in part," When politicians do what they say they going to do we will all be drinking that free bubble lug and eating that rainbow stew". The song in part makes fun of politicians promises and there is a certain amount of truth to it. Campaign after campaign Democrats promised to do this and do that and usually do nothing. If they really were interested in helping the common people, the working poor, they could do two things. The two biggest concerns of Lower income people are transportation and housing.

Making automobiles more affordable to maintain could be done by standardizing parts, in other words the government could mandate any car manufactured in the United States or imported would to have auto parts of about four different sizes. No matter what the brand of the car was it would fall into one of 4 sizes based on the engine size ranging from sizes like 1200 CC, 1600 CC, 2400 CC, and 4800 CC. Any part from any manufacturer would fit any other manufacturer's vehicle in the same size category; this would standardize parts and make them cheaper by taking advantage of economy of scale. An engine piston taken from any car would fit any engine of a car in that same size. The same would be true for things like tires. There would be exemption for super luxury cars like Rolls Royce.

Don't tell me that this legally can't be done the federal government can do anything that's not specifically prohibited by the constitution. The reason it most likely won't be done is because making cars more affordable would take some money out of the pockets of some individuals.

liberty, do you lie awake at night coming up with these whacko ideas?
And by the way ... the line referred to free "Bubble-Up"

— a brand of soda pop similar to 7-up, created 'way back in 1919.

I wonder why he picked on the Democrats for failing to take charge of auto-shop mechanics. Don't Republicans fail the same test? The one-piston policy. Like China's one child policy?

Is it similar to the international standards for USB ports, despite Apple's opposition? I've long considered it a problem that electricity is 240/50 in some places and 110/60 other places (including here). I think that Harris should promise to pass a law making it illegal for the Brits to use 240/50 - that doesn't offend the Consishon (copywrite D Trump)

I see. You're in favor of a more communistic approach to auto manufacturing.

A little socialism is not a bad thing as long as the people can keep any one of their governments from having too much power, so that the people remain in control. As I said, a little socialism is not a bad thing necessarily; social security is socialist; It's a government owned and operated retirement insurance program.
