That was quick. It only lasted 3 days.

“Clunkercare.”

[the invisib1e hand]

...another broken promise to GM dealers?

[Pikachu_Dad]

The government site cars.gov still lists 80% of the funds as being available.

But the USA Today article says they have suspended the program already!

“Government suspends “cash for clunkers” program amid confusion”

[mylife]

So the money is gone you say?

What a surprise!

[Man50D]

All the more reason to suspend the clunkers known as Health care reform and Cap and Trade.

Has such an inept Gov ever existed in this country?

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Anybody else hear that when the feds moved the goalposts on fuel mileage so that cars that were eligible before weren't anymore so they want customers to pay back the money.

The program wasn't for clunkers, just older lower fuel economy vehicles.

You know, the ones that those with fewer financial resources buy. These usable vehicles were going to be deliberately made unusable, pissing more US resources down the drain.

Kinda like what's in store for Seasoned Citizens.

From the story ... "Mr. Lee says his group has accepted 100 clunker trades, and is owed $450,000 from the government, none of which had been disbursed. By his reckoning, there must be a lot of other dealers waiting for money from the government, so he's holding back from doing the trades right now. "We haven't been paid on one," Mr. Lee said." Just you wait, I'm sure the gov't will settle up with you at some point .... SUCKER!!! HA HA HA!

Did ya’ll know that they are purposely destroying the motors of these clunkers so they can NEVER be used again. Total waste. It hurts my head to think about it. No way would I sell my soul to the .gov destroyers. I could not believe it when I took in my truck to have a new motor(used) put in that this is what they are doing to these motors. Destroying them. They are NOT allowing the old motors to be resold.

I lived my entire life being financially responsible. I WANT MY $4500 - in the form of a check please. No paperwork, just check to see that I’ve filed tax returns for 30 years and don’t owe anything - then send the check.

I was shocked this morning when the female announcer on the local morning conservative talk-radio show announced she’d just bought a car under the cash-for-clunkers program. I was tempted to email Carleen and say, “Well, now we know how much it takes for you to sell-out your conservative principles: $4,500.”

[freeandfreezing]

That was quick. It only lasted 3 days.

Not surprising. Tell a bunch of auto sales guys that they can get $4500 into a deal from the government and you know that they'll close a lot of sales.

We gave you 2 aspirins a week ago, you’ll have to wait until next month for more.

[EternalVigilance]

Where exactly is the information that confirms the added headline? The WSJ story doesn’t seem to.

[EternalVigilance]

Nevermind. I see that there are two different links.

[GreenAccord]

I heard this tidbit this morning on our morning AM radio show. The story was actually that dealers were at risk for selling cars with the subsidy potentially unavailable.

All this program was about was another way for liberals to make you xo what they deem best for society. You see, the intent was to get auto manufacturers back to making and selling cars. But libs can’t simply provide a tax break at the corpororate level. No, they make you buy the car THEY want while ridding us all of the car they don’t want.

wanna bet somebody ran the numbers....and found out they were paying more for old cars’ death than allocated for old peoples’ death in the DeathCare Bill?!!!!
