While President Obama delivers speeches praising the alleged success of Cash for Clunkers, a former rebate processor for the federal program is calling it "complete chaos."
After the federal "Cash for Clunkers" program ended Aug. 24, the Department of Transportation reported that nearly 700,000 clunkers were taken off the roads and replaced by more fuel-efficient vehicles. Rebate applications worth $2.877 billion were submitted by the 8 p.m. deadline. The Transportation Department hired federal employees and private contract workers to process the rebates vouchers so car dealers would be compensated.
Former White House aide Kathleen Willey was hired as an employee with Vangent Incorporated, a company that provides information technology management and business process outsourcing services to the public and private sectors. Its clients include federal agencies such as the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, the U.S. Departments of Defense, Education, Health and Human Services, Justice and Labor and the U.S. Office of Personnel Management.
Kathleen Willey helped send President Clinton to the White House in 1992. Little did she imagine how the Clintons would repay her. Get Willey's explosive hit, "Target: Caught in Crosshairs of Bill & Hillary Clinton," at WND!
Vangent, based in Arlington, Va., secured a contract from the Department of Transportation in late August and earlier this month to handle 300,000 applications – or nearly half of all Cash for Clunkers vouchers.Vangent Vice President Eileen Rivera told WND the company hired temporary at least 4,000 temporary employees in Chester, Va., Tampa, Fla., and London, Ky.
Willey processed the Cash for Clunkers vouchers at her position in Chester, Va. She attended a job fair on Aug. 31 and was hired through Astyra Corp., a minority-owned staffing company.

A salutary lesson in how your health-care delivery is going to be managed if Obama gets his way.
don’t be gettin’ any crazy ideas, pissant. Who dy’a think you are-— Bill Clinton before his heart surgery?
(which , btw, was 5 years ago this month)
I don’t agree. Too much make-up and too much Botox. Her eyes are dead. Nice nose job though.
I personally can not handle the government pace of doing work. I want to get in and get the job done. I have worked in a shipyard and could not believe the amount of waste that occurs there every single day.
Thank God for Kathleen Willey, a very brave woman.
Once again, we owe her our thanks.
This time for exposing the horror that was foisted upon this nation as the wonderful Cash for Clunkers program.
WorldNetDaily deserves a high five also for publishing this with the details it includes.
And we are supposed to believe Obama and friends are going to pay for most of Obamacare by stopping $500 Billion in fraud and waste in Medicare????
THEY EXIST TO CAUSE FRAUD, WASTE, AND ABUSE OF TAXPAYER DOLLARS.
Obama ushering his Banana Republic.
I hope she keeps her cat inside and safe.
In the sixties, I spent the longest year of my life working for the Social Security Administration. If I’d found one competent supervisor in my entire time there, I’d probably have made a career of it. They probably had no clue how to deal with KW because she actually knew what she was doing.
I do too.
I pray night & day that Obama's DeathCare plans crash & burns in a most spectacular way and never again sees the light of day.
I've seen for profit companies take a week to get computer access and sign on's simply because there IT department was backlogged and/or didn't care that it was costing the company money to have a consultant/employee unproductive.
The greater problem is not the access, it's the management of the process. It seems endemic to government processes to place quantity quotas in place without any corresponding quality review.
And when that happens, you get things like the automatic rejects, just to make the quantity quotas. Or you get government call center employees hanging up on you because your case is difficult. Or giving you wrong information because your case is difficult.
Lack of Adequate Training also appears to be a problem.
This is like proposing to do open heart surgery with a chainsaw.
This goes far beyond “management of the process” and “lack of adequate training.”
It is a good report in that it goes into particulars rather than the usual abstract and superficial.
View it as a metaphoric revelation into the (urged) government health system.
And of the type of people and settings that may determine/ordain the very health and, yes, life of yourself and your family and loved ones.
