The Trillion Dollar Yugo
Edited on Thu Feb-26-09 06:08 PM by SoCalDem
George Bush, car salesman extraordinaire, sold us the trillion-dollar Yugo.. a USED Yugo, at that.. We all were told to admire the Billion-dollar paint job, and the upgraded floormats, and the fancy rims, and not to concern ourselves with what's under the hood...

BUT..

it was still just a Yugo..


Now, after being stranded in the desert..standing by the road as cars whizzed past us, showering us with gravel and other road-detritus, we are finally being picked up.

We are off to buy our new car..

We will have to pay trillions again, because that's the going rate these days, and because we still owe on the Yugo, but we are NOT going to buy a Yugo..ever again

1. Surely the price tag on that used Yugo junior handed us needs another
zero: $10 trillion would sound more in the ball park. :P

3. We might have been better off had junior left us with a $10 trillion used Yugo rather than what he
has left us with. :P
