On Tuesday Britain announced it’s own bailout plan for their battered housing market- exempting homes under 175,000 pounds [311,000 USD] from first year property taxes.
In response the Daily Mash [Similar to "The Onion" ] proposed it’s own bailout program- the government can throw in a car with the housing bailout:
FIRST-time buyers across Britain are hoping the government can see its way clear to stumping up for a motor as well.
They said that while buying them a house is really nice and everything, it will look a bit daft without a car sitting outside it.
Wayne Hayes, a sales executive from Lincoln, said: "What’s the point of buying me a nice, new house with a garage and then not buying me a car? Are you trying to hurt me?"
He added: "Go on, get us a car. All my mates have got cars. I’ll vote for you. Promise."
The Society of Motor Manufacturers has also urged the government to buy lots of cars, particularly 4×4s and large petrol estates.
A spokesman said: "If you’re buying people stuff then yeah, a car would be good. It’ll totally reinvigorate the car market and all that."
