Are we living the old 70's Fram oil filter commercial?

In the commercial, a mechanic in grease stained overalls is standing in a junk yard next to a car with a burned out motor. Holding a Fram oil filter, the mechanic says,





';You can pay me now, or you can pay me later.';





The message being you can pay a small price to fix something early on, or an enormous price to fix it later. I knew this in my job, and all businesses leaders know this adage, so why are we in this mess?Are we living the old 70's Fram oil filter commercial?
Only the people living now are the ones voting though. The ones who will have to pay later, aren't living so they don't get votes.





The fact is that spending now to prevent rather than spending more later to cure is always going to be the harder argument to make. So, until we drag our political discourse out from the mud, we will always be a pay later society.Are we living the old 70's Fram oil filter commercial?
The 3 U.S. auto makers forgot how to design and build a car that U.S. consumers would buy. Yet, some feel that the tax payers should flip the tab for their inability to produce a product that isn't over priced and under performing of imports. But like the Fram commercial.....you can pay them now for a piece of crap, or you can pay them later for something worth buying. In the meantime, what model of car sits in your driveway?





I rest my case.
yes, you can pay the UAW now or pay the UAW later since they own Obama and Pelosi
Exactly, and the average American who didn't know this was allowed to fail like they should. But in our country, the wealthy elites get handouts from the tax payers.
I for one am living in that exact commercial in a different dimension.
Because politicians want us to pay them now AND later.
