'Cash for Clunkers' Program Blasts Through Funds
(Excerpt) Read more at online.wsj.com ...
“Clunkercare.”
...another broken promise to GM dealers?
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”
So the money is gone you say?
What a surprise!
All the more reason to suspend the clunkers known as Health care reform and Cap and Trade.
Charlie Foxtrot.
Has such an inept Gov ever existed in this country?
Mass confusion over how many vehicles have been sold using the clunker program, dealers not getting paid, paperwork fiascos, rules being changed and a 135 pages of rules that the dealer has to follow.
I don’t doubt a lot of dealers are SCREWED because they took vehicles in and don’t have the right paperwork, or the vehicles don’t qualify.
And these people running this program want to run our health care?

.....and dumb ass demoRAT socialist stupidity!"
There, completed the rest of the sentence.
.
Sorry, no health care for you. We used up all the money in the first three days of the year...
As a person who works hard to keep old equipment running, I find this program to be deeply offensive. The card that the government buys are destroyed by having abrasive material poured in through the engine fill, and then the engines are run at high speed until the sieze.
Somebody has been working hard to keep just this sort of thing from happening to these engines for hundreds of thousands of miles, and the governments solution is to grind them up.
Of course, they have a similar plan for health care. Want to know what really in the Red Pill?
The more I think about it the bigger disaster I realize it is. Everything from removing decent and affordable used cars from the market to the loss of jobs that are a result of the used parts market.
Give the American people a program they could actually “want” to use .... and Obama’s government screws it right up, don’t they?
(Thought I recognized the phonetic alphabet ..)
Why isn’t the headline “Obama Adminstration Suspends Cash for Clunkers Amid Confusion”? Oh, never mind.
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.
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.
