I had heard about that and it is typical of this administration. I have wondered out loud several times how long are the American people going to wait until they do something about the coup that is going on. We wait much longer and it will be too late. I've even been considering looking into moving over seas to get out of here, the writing is simply plainly on the wall.
I feel bad for the poor that NObama claims to champion. If I am a guy driving an older car because it's all I can afford as I struggle to feed my family $4,500 is hardly going to allow me to buy a new car. What this bill will do is make sure I can't find parts for my car when it breaks down or find a decent / cheap used car to replace mine. My guess is auto theft will increase as people struggle to find used parts.
The Cash for Clunkers program provides a bit of a preview for the Obama health care plan. The government estimated that the $1 billion funding would cover the program for four months, but it went broke after four days.
The government is in total confusion as to how to administer it. Some dealers won't participate because they don't believe they will be reimbursed -- others say the red tape is so complicated it isn't worth the trouble.
After changing its position three times, Obama's administration proposed an additional $2 billion. To paraphrase the late Senator Everett Dirkson, "a billion here, a billion there. Pretty soon, you're talking about real money."
Obama's health care plan will cost somewhere between less than one trillion dollars and five trillion dollars, depending on who you ask. But if the Cash for Clunkers program provides any insight, then the real plan should cost between three trillion and fifteen trillion.
