Dollars Dimes for Dishwashers!

Seriously, we should all promote this name, as it demeans it in the public eye as soon as possible.

[Rockitz]

Sheeesh.....How about a “cash for junk in my garage” program? Must be part of the “Helicopter Ben” approach to reinflating the economy and devaluing our dollars.

[rwfromkansas]

We just bought a new washer. Kind of sucks we won’t get it, though I ultimately hope the program doesn’t even get off the ground.

These rebates are getting ridiculous.

I don't want my tax dollars to pay for some liberal’s water softener...

Are there any appliances manufactured in the US?

The government's so-called "Cash for Clunkers" program has been grabbing headlines, but it's not the only federal program putting money back into consumers' pockets.

Yeah. Putting money in consumers' pockets by taking it out of the auto dealers' pockets -- stiffing them on their "reimbursements."

[Rightly Biased]

Where’s the Oh Geez not this Crap again guy?

[Uncle George]

Any way they can bolster the Obamafraud’s programs of giving away our tax money. Why not cut out the bull crap and just send everyone a $10,000.00 check ? That should bankrupt us very quickly, huh?

[wbill]

Let me start by saying that this is a humongous government boondoggle. Massive waste of money... BUT (and you knew that but was coming...) If I may play Devil's Advocate for 1 sec...

If the government is really, truly serious about "Stopping Man-Made Global Warming" and "Making the population more energy efficient" - the easiest way to that goal is NOT through mandating some sort of overpriced light bulb or promoting a car that burns gasoline at a slightly slower rate than an SUV.

The quickest and easiest way to attain a substantial part of their goals is to get rid of Aunt Minnie's 40-year-old wheezing Oil Furnace and replace it with new efficient technology. Ditto on Fridges and deep freezes and AC. Times millions of households....now you're talking a significant energy savings.

Flame away, and disagree - but at least they're finally doing what they've said that they want to do. Makes sense, in a liberal-logic sort of way.

[tcrlaf]

Great...
So now we get to pay to stimulate the Mexican economy, as well, eh?

[swain_forkbeard]

Speaking of drunken sailors...

I think we need to support the American whiskey industry.

Turn in old, empty bottles of American-made Tennessee and bourbon and rye whiskey, and get $10 of the price of a nice new fresh bottle.

[maggief]

GE?

[paul51]

Why don't they just do a national yard sale where anyone can bring any junk laying around the house that they don't want to the nearest federal office and pick up a check. Better still, let's open up some new federal offices and hire a bunch of new bureaucrats to staff them.

I guess I’ll hold off a bit longer on the dishwasher and refrigerator purchases...
