WASHINGTON – Congressional officials say the government plans to suspend the popular "cash for clunkers" program amid concerns it could quickly use up the $1 billion in rebates for new car purchases.
The Transportation Department called congressional offices late Thursday to alert them to the decision to halt the program, which offered owners of old cars and trucks $3,500 or $4,500 toward a new, more fuel-efficient vehicle.
The congressional officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly.
Through late Wednesday, 22,782 vehicles had been purchased through the program and nearly $96 million had been spent. But dealers raised concerns of large backlogs in the system, prompting the suspension.
AP sources: Govt to suspend 'cash for clunkers'
Folks, this was a 'ONE' page bill. NHTSA tried to administer with a 100 plus page rules and a website. They just can't figure out what to do. Initial allotment of $1 BILLION in tax money will either be increased or car dealers will end up $3500 - $4500 short on thousands of deals.
Now the same idiots who can't run a program based on ONE PAGE and $1 BILLION are trying to pass a thousand plus page long "Health Care Reform" bill. they already passed another thousand plus page long " Global Warming" bill.
This requires no further explanation.
Everywhere we look we see the great and once-great beneficiaries of free markets running to the state for protection from the cruel bullying of competition. On health care, insurance companies and others repeat the mantra that they want to be “at the table rather than on the menu,” all the better to be positioned as a tax collector of the welfare state. General Motors and Chrysler have gone from being pimped-out prostitutes of the state to outright chattel more akin to the leather-bound gimp in Pulp Fiction, eager to do the bidding of the president and the UAW.
Once-proud companies like GE have become seduced by global-warming schemes because they recognize that there’s more money to be made selling white elephants to Uncle Sam than there is selling competitive products consumers want. Indeed, cap-and-trade taxes promise to deliver precisely the protectionist industrial policies the Left has dreamed of for decades, only under a “progressive” label.
Et Tu, Big Business? By Jonah Goldberg - NRO
Can you blame the big business?
Who is corrupting them?
It is the Big Government!
Look how well Chrysler and GM fared under government sponsored bankruptcy...
Look at the big businesses salivating over the possibilities of raking in millions if not billions when this so-called cap-and-trade crap becomes a law.
It is much easier to collect government giveaways than competing in a free market.
Jonah Goldberg defines what is happening as American businesses "selling their soul" and their betrayal of "free markets". He is absolutely right but these businesses who sold their souls are no longer the "American Businesses" that survive and thrive in a competitive free market by inventing and innovating. They became government owned corporations. They are turning into bureaucratic organizations that are doomed to fail but the government will keep them running with tax-payer money. Government and these corporations will feed off of each other. Think of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac folks. Think of all the people who ran them to ground. Who were they? Cllinton cronies of course... How did they fare personally while they ruined these organizations? They are all multi-millionaires. Anyone asking them any questions? Heck no! They are well connected and protected. They used tax-payer money well by giving it as campaign donations to the politicians who in turn protected them. What do you think will happen when Government Motors can't compete even after devouring billions of dollars of tax-payer money and stiffing its creditors thanks to a government arranged bankruptcy? It will ask its owner the government to limit competition. You don't believe me... Bookmark this page so you can come back to read it again when you hear within a few years your elected representatives are voting on another bill they did not bother to read that contains things that will make Honda, Toyota and other foreign car companies' operations in the USA costlier and more difficult.
The point is that these big businesses that "sell their souls" to the big government of president Hussein and liberal democRATs are already self-destroyed. They are no longer capitalist enterprises. They are doomed to fail in a free market. They are part of the government. They are owned by the government. And the government that owns them willingly abandoned the principles this country founded upon. We can no longer call the government that is run by Obama and liberal democRATs "American Government". They just turned this country into a marxist regime that is doomed to fail eventually. I hope it does not take decades.
"Let the American youth never forget that they possess a noble inheritance, bought by the toils, and sufferings, and blood of their ancestors; and capable, if wisely improved, and faithfully guarded, of transmitting to their latest posterity all the substantial blessings of life, the peaceful enjoyment of liberty, of property, of religion, and of independence. The structure has been erected by architects of consummate skill and fidelity; its foundations are solid; its compartments are beatiful, as well as useful; its arrangements are full of wisdom and order; and its defences are impregnable from without. It has been reared for immortality, if the work of man may justly aspire to such title. It may, nevertheless, perish in an hour, by the folly, or corruption, or negligence of its only keepers, THE PEOPLE. Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public councils, because they dare to be honest, and profligate are rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them."
Everyone seems to be shocked with this exchange. Partisan media is not even talking about it. Well, they are shocked to see that this question was allowed in the ObamaCare infomercial.
Here is the transcript:
DR. ORRIN DEVINSKY, EPILEPSY SPECIALIST: Yes, in the past, politicians who have sought to reform health care have tried to limit costs by reducing tests, access to specialists, but they've not been good at taking their own medicine. When they or their family members get sick, they often get extremely expensive evaluations and expert care.
If a national health plan was approved and your family participated, and, President Obama, if your wife or your doctor became seriously ill, and things were not going well, and the plan physicians told you they were doing everything that reasonably could be done, and you sought out opinions from some medical leaders and major centers, and they said there's another option that you should -- should pursue, but it was not covered in the plan, would you potentially sacrifice the health of your family for the greater good of insuring millions? Or would you do everything you possibly could as a father and husband to get the best health care and outcome for your family?
Obama could have said "Doctor, ObamaCare is going to be the very best health care for my family and millions of Americans." It would have been a baloney but the guy could not even bring himself to say it.
What did he say? Nothing. He avoided giving a direct answer but it was clear that he would seek the best health care for his family even if it is outside of ObamaCare plan. But the way he answered the question also shows that he never ever considered ObamaCare being applied to him and his family.
You see folks, when liberal elites like Obama talk about "public option" or anything starts with the word "public", they mean the stupid ignorant masses. They don't consider themselves in that group of people they call "public". So when they come up with these policies, plans, rules, regulations and laws they always keep themselves exempt.
Barack Hussein Obama will not send his kids to a "PUBLIC" school. Do you think he will keep his family in a "PUBLIC" health care system? Barack Hussein Obama and liberal elites see anything "public" beneath themselves.
You can see this in countries that have "public" health care. We all know that the wealthy come here to the U.S. to get their health care. They have the means to escape the rationing of health care. Guess who else from these countries come to the U.S. when they need a major surgery or any other critical treatment? Yes, you guessed it right: Politicians and bureaucrats. Very same people who came up with the "public" health care scheme that kills their own people. To add insult to injury, they are able to escape the "public" rationing system they created by using the public's money. Yep, tax-payers pay for these politicians and bureaucrats' treatments in the U.S. So don't expect to see Obama and liberal politicians getting in line to get their ration of treatments when they are sick. They will either get in front of the line, making you wait longer or they will have their own special, private health care separate from the "public" rationing system.
This is true for everything these liberal democRAT elites do. They just passed a monstrosity of a bill called cap-and-trade that will only help them get rich. You will end up paying higher taxes, higher utility bills, higher prices for food and everything you buy. You will be forced to lower your living standards. You will end up living in a smaller house, driving a smaller, unsafe car. You will not be able to travel as much as you can. These liberal elites will force you to go back to the 19th century. What about them? The champions of environment, saviours of the earth, al GOREs, Thomas Friedmans, movie stars, TV execs, big business people and people who run these enviro-wacko organiztions; do you think they will lower their standards of living? You wish! They will still live in their big mansions, use their private jets and SUVs. Don't worry, while they have 100s if not 1000s times bigger carbon footprint than yours, they will be buying carbon offsets to help the planet. Since you can afford to buy these offsets, you are doomed to liven in your shit as the rest of the "public" does. Don't ask much about where that "carbon offset" money is going either... It will end up in the funds managed and owned by the same elites who also will be making carbon calculations.
If you want to have a better life for yourself and your family in an elitist liberal democRAT controlled society, better get yourself out of that group called "public" if you can.

The plan calls for a reduction of carbon emissions of 20 percent by 2020 using carbon trading system and requires utilities to purchase 25 percent of their energy from renewable fuel sources by 2025. By 2050, the lawmakers want to reduce U.S. carbon emissions by 83 percent.
House Democrats release climate plan - The Washington Times
Mr. Waxman and Mr. Markey also laid out an accelerated schedule with which they hope to have the measure moved out of their committee by Memorial Day.
These are the people who seek to destroy American prosperity, achievement, supremacy, advancement, economy in the name of a hoax: global warming. They have delusional ideas that will never be realized. We will spend billions of dollars, our hard earned tax dollars for this idiocy. We will give up more of our freedom and liberty for just to satisfy the demands of people who hate us. We will become poorer and weaker for no reason folks.
These assholes want to do cost benefit analysis when it comes to your life and health care. They want to give a bureaucrat power to decide whether or not your life is worth the government expense to save it. The same assholes could not even care about any kind of cost benefit analysis when it comes to the global warming lie they are pushing. We are carbon based lifeforms folks and the people you voted for want to tax you for being alive.
I guess it all ties together. These human-haters are for abortion. They won't even mind if a baby is murdered after s/he survives abortion. These human-haters want to have the final say over who lives or dies. They are for euthanasia. They are for assisted suicide. They complain endlessly about population growth. They rather have farmers relocate and starve to save an endangered worm. These people are waging a war against humanity. no wonder the democRAT party is called the party of death. They celebrate death. These people are not on our side. They could not care less about us folks.
We say "Give me liberty or death!" democRATs in response getting ready to deal us "death".
I don't know folks... We are in such a sad situation that it actually makes me laugh. Look at what is happening with this bailout of GM, Ford and Chrysler.
Here is what liberal democRATs in Congress came up with:
Summary of the Auto Rescue Bill
You know how these liberal democRATs praise each other for being highly intelligent and incredibly smart in every chance they get. These "smart" liberal RATs want to create another government bureaucracy that will oversee American automobile manufacturing. These "smart" liberal RATs had no problem giving almost a trillion dollars to banks and financial institutions like Citibank but they want to nationalize the auto industry for $15 billion.
What the hell is a long-term viability plan they want to see these auto manufacturers produce anyways? Look at the stupid restrictions they put on them: Don't fight the state greenhouse gas emission standards, don't have a compensation plan to attract the talent, dump corporate jets... These corporations do business worldwide and there is a reason they have corporate jets. Forcing them to dump these jets is nothing more than a symbolic idiocy on the part of these "smart" RATs. Why don't we make the congressmen and senators travel the way Benjamin Franklin used to?
Well, I do think the CEOs of these auto companies have no courage. Why are they surrendering their corporations to a government take-over? Where are the Republicans? Where is the Republican leadership?
Folks, while all this Detroit-3 bailout drama was unfolding, do you realize that there already is $25 billion set aside for these companies? This $15 billion is not new money. It is coming out of the $25 billion previously reserved. GM, Ford and Chrysler could not use that $25 billion because it was to be used to build fuel-efficient hybrids and electric cars. Bush administration asked congress to lift these restrictions and let the manufacturers use that money for their immediate need. Guess what? "Smart" RATs would not do it. So you got $25 billion sitting there and democRATs will not use that money to save American Auto industry and make these CEOs hop through bunch of hoops and beg for money. They will not use the money to save the auto industry because that money was to be used in accordance with global-warming wackos' wishes. Do you realize that nothing will make global-warming wackos happier than killing the auto industry? Now the democRATs agree to use $15 billion of $25 billion that is already available and they attach all these rules to make sure auto industry suffers a slow but a sure death. They just want to hand the noose and ask these CEOs to hang themselves. Anyone of these CEOs who agrees to this deal is an idiot. Well, they pretty much proved themselves to be idiots as playing along with the idiot RATs in the congress anyways and I think they deserve to get what is coming their way.
You see folks, back in 2003 here is what I wrote:
Nationalize the automobile industry. Automobile industry is producing gas guzzling, terrorist funding, tree killing, unsafe, unaffordable vehicles. It is exporting American jobs. Government should take over all automobile factories. United Auto Workers should be classified as federal employees. All the auto dealerships around the country should be closed to put an end to their unfair practices. Importation of automobiles should be banned. After an extensive bureaucratic research, government will start producing a gas efficient, practical, and safe car for the citizens. Since there won't be any dealerships, everyone except the rich will pay the same price for each vehicle. Rich will need to pay an extra surcharge so we can provide poor of this country with free cars or free mass transit. Vehicles need to be ordered direct from the factory. Since all the vehicles will be standard issue there won't be any confusion in choosing style, options, or colors. No personal selections will be allowed. Due to strict governmental standards delivery of your vehicle may take a little longer than a year from the date it is ordered. It is a small sacrifice to make. Government will continue to produce a small batch of SUVs, big trucks, fast sport cars for designated government officials, representatives, senators, certain newspaper editors, movie industry, some executives of certain companies. Allocation of these vehicles will be based on national security considerations, campaign contributions...
Ideas for Democratic Presidential Candidates
I was having a little fun and being a little sarcastic. I can't believe it is actually happening now. This is exactly where we are headed. You see, the billions will not save the auto industry as long as it is owned by government, regulated and ruled by bureaucrats and politicians. What do you think is the "smart" RATs' next step when Detroit-3 still fails while producing so-called green hybrids and electric cars no American wants to buy? You guessed it right if you said that the government will restrict competition and force citizens to buy government approved cars. No corporation regardless of its size has that kind of power but your government under total control of the supreme leader Obama and "smart" RATs in congress can actually do that. Hey, I now understand that there are ultra-liberal leftist democRATs who actually fantasize about making what I wrote 5 years ago a reality. And I thought I was being sarcastic...
I am telling you folks: We are screwed big time!!!
Here is the text of this idiotic bill that will turn American Automobile Industry into a government planned, controlled and run bureaucracy that will eventually force us to buy cars we do not want:
Get ready to forget the America you know and love if these liberal democRATs get control of the executive and legislative branches of our government folks.
