Cash for Clunkers: Just Spinning Wheels


The Ultimate 'Libb-Mobile.'

Another 'dumb liberal program' to con Americans into believing this will actually improve the economy. Heritage proves otherwise...

Is the federal government's "cash for clunkers" program a success? It has certainly been popular with car buyers, who have rushed to dealerships around the country to get their cars--and cash--under the program. In less than a week, the $1 billion put aside by Congress for the program has been depleted. To prevent the program from ending, the U.S. House of Representatives quickly approved an extra $2 billion to expand the program. The U.S. Senate will most likely take up the issue this week.

  1. What are you talking about? Cash for Clunkers was a HUGE success! I am glad they added a couple billion more. Do you have ANY idea how many NObama bumper stickers got taken off the highways of our once-great country? Add to that number all the other dem political also-rans stickers, the no nukes and all the other tree-hugger trash and I'd say it was a bargain. The cleaning up of sight pollution alone was worth the bucks! And just to be absolutely clear, this comment was entirely sarcastic dribble.

    I love the fitting name of your blog.
