Cash for clunkers

This ais a program through the Federal Gov't whereby if you trade your "clunker" in for a new car that improves your gas mileage, you can get up to a $4,500 tax credit. I was seriously thinking about it since I have a ten cylinder mid-90's truck that would have given me the whole $4,500. Although the program was suppose to go through November 1st, the program is out of money in 4 days--story here.

I ask you this if the gov't gets these numbers so wrong, what makes anyone think the numbers that they have for health insurance can be any better.

Now it's being reported that junkyards will not take the clunkers off the dealerrs lots b/c there is too much gub'mint paperwork involved.

Between sales tax increase in Mass and $4500 clunker tax rebate... the new car business is essentially on a crack cocaine high that when it abrultly ends will result in severe withdrawl pains for new car business......basically a one time high.

ANyone want to see the medical care junkyard that results when these clowns take over health care........insanity
