  3. You really need to take a deep breadth and relax . . . As I recall, there were a few "glitches" during Bush's response to Hurricane Katrina too.

    And in that situation, human lives were at stake, not automobiles.

    the bottom line is either way, this stuff is rushed through without much thought in the end....period.

    Usually you end up hearing afterward something along the lines of "the demand is/was much greater then we initially thought."

    Most government stuff doesn't have much demand, because it's hardly publicized to begin with. Throw the media all over it, and sure, the common folk are going to jump all over it if it's dubbed as "free money."

    The numbers aren't rocket science. But, lots of people these days apparently want to BE rocket scientists. :confused:

  5. Yeah, that's what I hearing too.

    Sounds like the "cash" for clunkers is "check is in the mail". Sounds like dealers are getting stuck, handing cars out to retail, but no money coming from Obama. Do you really think anybody in Obama's office even knows how to set up an ACH transfer?? The billion dollar budget for this has hardly been dented.

    And it sounds like Cash for Clunkers was meant to sell ObamaMotors cars only (the old GM). If you don't want to buy a GM, don't bother.

    Bottom line, car dealers deal in cash, and it's not coming from Washington.

    Washington's main output is SCAM, not cash for folks who work for a living.

    You are such a dumb shit, it's not funny. Bill Clinton's administration created the sub prime mortgage market. They pressured the lending institutions to give these ridiculous sub prime loans. Don't you remember O'l "Clit"on saying that home ownership was a right, and not a privilege???
    "Clit"on wanted everyone with that 500 fico credit score, and who makes $8.00 an hour, to get that $400k home.
    Busy actually tried twice to stop the practice of sub prime lending because he saw the disastrous implications it would have later on. Well golly gee, look at what happened!!!!! The only reason Bush couldn't put a stop to this idiotic Demo"crap" program was because the royal douche bag Demo"crap"s in congress wouldn't support, nor dream of ending a program created by O'l slick Willie "Clit"on. Of course Bubba Boy didn't think of the consequences either, but then again, he was too busy getting his dick sucked by "the true lipstick wearing pig," named Lewinsky. He was also too busy worrying about his impeachment, going to prison for lying under oath, ruining his marriage, and wondering where his next piece of ass would come from.
    Again, you are truly a dumb shit of epic proportions!!!

    For a moment there I thought that you were describing what the future of healthcare was going to look like. Then I remembered that the gov will be spending trillions on that little project, so hopefully we will at least get a working web site out of that initiative.

  9. You clearly have no idea what you are talking about.
    My local Toyota dealer sold 250 cars this week, and 50 were sold on a Thursday and another 40 on Friday. They were still open at 10:45pm Friday night, selling cars.

    You really need to pull your head out of your arse and actually open your eyes, instead of regurgitating the crap that comes out of Faux News.

    Katerina glitches:

    * 50 years of Democratic corrupt local rule.
    * Incompetent Democratic leadership at ground level from Nagin to Blanco.
    * Blanco failing to seek federal help or do you accept the idea of Federal troops showing up on your steet without any warning.

    Why are most major cities falling apart? Because they have been encrusted by incompetent Democratic politicians decade after decade.
