Hi Tim,
I can understand why you would get excited about this bill. I think one of the biggest problems is that this "Buy Back" program gets people into the mind set that the government "owns" everything to begin with. When it is described by the media it will be called a buy back program just like the flawed gun "buyback" programs that some cities have done. You can't "buy back" something back you never owned in the first place. Once the "sheeple" get this idea (buy back) in their heads though it will be a lot easier to "buyback" all the "dangerous" or "old and wasteful" things that are out there. I'm sure it will be "for the children" too. I'll definately write and call my senators. Thanks for the heads up, Dan Bauer
