Wow! Someone actually listened to me and extended the "Cash for Clunkers" program. I am sure they didn't really listen to me, but who knows. Maybe the Obama Gang realized a good deal when they saw one.
The House of Representatives actually found a way to muster up another $2 billion on Friday to carry on the program that blew its $1 billion wad in just a week. The program is however facing opposition in the Senate.
Under the program any trade in vehicle needs to have a combined city and highway fuel economy of 18 miles per gallon or less. Vehicles meeting the criteria that are traded in are to receive a voucher for $3,500 to $4,500 for the gas guzzlers.
Finally a program comes along and appears to be working. I was amazed they actually upped the Annie another $2 billion. But of course that could be short lived if the Senate doesn't go for it. It's just like government officials to string us a long and when something finally starts to go it's like wait a minute this can't be right. We better put a stop to that.
This program is designed to help spur the struggling auto industry and help get fuel inefficient cars off the road. It's a win-win situation. Let's keep programs like this going and quit wasting money on the deadbeat programs that aren't.
