The Obama administration is refusing to release government records on its "cash-for-clunkers" rebate program that would substantiate - or undercut - White House claims of the program's success, even as the president presses the Senate for a quick vote for $2 billion to boost car sales.

So much for the heralded transparency.
To paraphrase the car salesman quoted on Drudge ‘the Govt can run a simple program like Cash for Clunkers, but they think they can run health care?’
The 0pacity continues.
More transparency?
I can hardly take it.
It’s...it’s as if I had X-ray vision and could see *everything*.
/s
So no one is allowed to check the efficacy of a billion dollar program, but we’re told government run healthcare will be just FINE—a BIG money-saver!!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA
So will asking for it get us labeled crazy conspiracy nuts?
Don’t you just love the smell of transparency in the morning?
“We’re too busy handing out money to keep track of it.”
Need to look under Rahm’s toe-shoes.
I am sure the data are there.
LOL Too busy handing out other peoples money and hiding the books so they don’t have to be accountable for mass fraud.
Problem with socialism is you run out of other peoples money to spend. . . Lady Margaret Thatcher
If it proved the system was working then the data would be front page news.
Since it is not front page news...
All this money that is NOT GOING TO AMERICA.
Guys, I don’t want to feel like my head is tightly wrapped in tinfoil anymore than it already is, but I have a sneaky feeling in my gut that money is being funnelled out of America and God knows where.
NO ACCOUNTABILITY.
Bernanke making a Congressman laugh by saying why we gave enough money to New Zealand for every citizen to receive $30,000 each was to help the world credit or some such nonsense.
We are being robbed and mocked while it’s happening.
No, but you will be labeled a sore loser racist.
Believe it or not, this was the gist of a Fox reporter's summary of a government officials reply when asked as to why there was no accounting given on the clunker program.
I heard the dealer who had the great buy a car get an AK-47 promotion saying the whole thing is a big lie. Hopefully someone can find his interview and make it available. He pointed out dozens of problems with the program and how impossible it was to get through the online process to even determine if a particular deal was eligible. Oh goodness, there's that eligibility thing again.
Obviously the system of checks and balances our forefathers provided to help prevent such debacles has failed in this case. They never conceived that anyone would actually get into the Oval Office without having proved their eligibility or that Congress would put us trillions of dollars into debt and then continue to pile trillions more on top of that. One of the underpinnings of scams throughout history has been that to work they had to be big, really big. Maybe that's what's really meant by “too big to fail!”
Wow, nobody saw *that* coming! ;-)
Also, I do believe this occasion calls for...
BTTT.
