cash for clunkers (or in the case of the dealerships lake thereof)

ok so this program for new cars seems to be going very well...... in putting the dealerships in debt anyway...... on the show they talked to two car dealers the government has yet to give one $300,000 in the cash for clunkers rebates the other $200,000

A quick trip around Hannity's America...
No "Cash for Clunkers"
The train wreck that is the "cash for clunkers" program continues. The program may have triggered an uptick in auto sales, but it has also taken its toll on many car dealers' budgets.
According to the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, some dealers have dished out millions in rebates and have yet to be paid back by the government. One dealer in Wisconsin said, "They rolled out the program and told us that we'd get paid in 10 days. It's already been three weeks."
I guess this is the kind of efficiency that we can expect if the government takes over the U.S. health care system."

and on a side note about the stimulus package..............

The Verdict Is In
Our Waste 101 update comes to you courtesy of the economic stimulus.
It's been six months since Congress passed the $787 billion pork bill and the verdict is in: The public thinks it has been a colossal failure, according to the latest Gallup Poll.


Asked where the stimulus has made the economy better, has had no effect or has made it worse, 57 percent think that the stimulus has either had no effect or in fact made it worse.
But that's not all. On the subject of waste, Americans have absolutely no confidence that the government is spending their money efficiently. A whopping 78 percent of poll respondents said that they were either very or somewhat worried money that "money from the economic stimulus plan is being wasted."
Well, that's a ringing endorsement! Good work, Democrats.
