"Cash For Cash"

Who's kidding who?

Obama's "Cash for Clunkers" plan has been a 'boffo' success, or so his Administration and the Democrat Congress would have you believe by the way some of them are touting the success of their plan on the news shows.  Its been so great that the initial $2 Billion has been used in a matter of weeks, when it was supposed to have lasted until the Fall.  Are these guys great marketeers or what?  Can't wait to see how they manage Health Insurance.  Oh that's right, they already do.....Medicare.

Who couldn't give away $2 Billion of other people's money to savvy consumers in a down market?  And, to top it off, they even wasted the trade-in cars which had some value and could at least have been traded to other nations as a good will gesture....Haiti, Kenya, even Iceland comes to mind.  As Charles Krauthammmer quipped "they sacrificed them on the alter of the "Earth God".

They've basically taken money from one set of citizens and put it in the hands of others....the Auto Union employees.

Why not cash for Couches, Cash for Pizza, Cash for Houses (oh yeah, they've been there and done that).  There's an unlimited number of people that they could play Bernie Madoff with, and now they want to double down on this incomprehensible folly by authorizing another $2 Billion.

Please call your Representative and Senator.....and tell them that you can actually understand what they're doing, that your memory is fine, and you actually will be able to remember what they're doing now, in 2010 when it comes time to rehire them...or maybe not, as the case may be.

By the way, as you can see in the above picture, Peter isn't too happy about giving his money to Paul.
