What made dealerships think that Cash for Clunkers wouldn’t fail

This is what makes the American people not interested in seeing the next one put on the list

Healthcare-?

You missed a few...

When the house and senate “dining rooms” (restaurants for the house and senate staffers and guests, as well as the congress-critters) were run by the house and senate, they constantly had to be “bailed out” by congress, just to meet payroll and pay their bills. Once they were contracted out, they became self supporting.

But the BEST was when the Mustang Ranch, at the time, the best known, most famous legal brothel in NV, was taken over by the feds, because the owner, Joe Conforte was charged with tax evasion and fled the country. It was a business that was generating millions in profits, but after the feds took over, it began losing money, and eventually the government closed it down, unable to make money selling sex. This is probably the first time that’s happened in all of the history of mankind.

While I can agree with your point that almost everything the government tries to run is poorly run at best and that most of the efforts may be classified as failures, the jury is still out on whether the government can do a better job in health care. So I will resort to a clever and rather subtle argument to counter your argument that we should not give the government a chance to run health care:

You racist!
