Wait until healthcare providers "supporting documentation" doesn't meet the Feds standards.

The REPO business is booming...... =.=

With the hoops of fire that car dealers had to jump through to be a part of this program, I would imagine it was by design. A large portion of those that took advantage of the $8,000 “tax credit” for 1st time homebuyers are being audited as well.

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Government doesn’t want to pay the rebates so they’re going after the car dealerships. Typical Obama regime mentality.

[Clara Lou]

No. It can’t be. Federal money misused? Impossible.

[ProtectOurFreedom]

Fraud, cheating, waste and abuse in a government program? I’m SHOCKED! How could this have possibly happened? Perhaps their “campaign contributions” to their local D congresscritter didn’t arrive in time or were too puny?

[BenLurkin]

Government handouts and scammers go together like feces and flies.

[darkwing104]

Hey 1st time homeowners who took the tax cut...You're next.

[JimSEA]

Gee, I never saw this coming!

[Cheetahcat]

Boon-dongle hurt everyone used car sales the parts business,this was a very destructive, vindictive and just plain old fashioned Stupid program.

Yep

And I wonder how many GM dealers will be found guilty, compared to Ford dealerships?

Ford, Toyota = 19 guilty

GM = 1 guilty (a dealership which is not liked by GM )

Obama and the UAW already tried to murder Toyota.

Now empirical evidence has shown that most of the gas pedal problems emanated from “human error “

[rockabyebaby]

the corrupt government giveth then they taketh away

[Howie66]

The Feds have “standards”??

Glory be!

[Charles Martel]

So, how many GM dealers are under investigation?

[purplelobster]

Barry and his army of bureaucrats have perfected their standard operating practice. As we saw last week, when New Jersey elected a Republican Governor the federal education bureaucrats rejected 400 million in funds allegedly because the thousand page form was missing a few pieces of information. Barry's corrupt Administration is wielding arcane rules and bureaucracy as a weapon. Now he's employing an expensive staff to launch investigations over the paltry, unnecessary “cash for clunkers” checks. The idea was obviously unworkable from the start.

[MikefromOhio]

shocking. A government boondoogle didn’t work because the paperwork wasn’t right.

Yeah we should REALLY keep giving these people the keys to the castle.

[Don Corleone]

“Unexpected?”

[Oldpuppymax]

TRANSLATION: It’s time for Big Brother to screw the dealers forced to participate in this federal debacle.
