The government mandates that cars traded in under the "Cash for
Clunkers" program be permanently disabled and specifies that the
method used is to replace the oil with Sodium Silicate then run the
engine until it freezes.
This has caught the suppliers of the substance by surprise. One
company that sold maybe 150 gallons of the stuff a year has already
sold 15,000 gallons!

I'm not exactly what you would call a die hard "green" kind of a person, but
having learned the ways of thrift and economy from grandparents who survived
the great depression of 1929, I can't help but see this as a total waste of
otherwise useful resources.

This also feeds the greed of today's citizen. They forget that it is
there own tax money that's being spent. We will all pay for it later.
How many of the buyers actually can afford the new cars they are buying?
Remember all the homes that they bought and couldn't keep. Will they
be working next week or next month. I doubt it. Party on!!!- Hide quoted text -

Very few posts mention that _you and I_ are paying out those bonuses.
I hope my neighbor appreciates me helping him buy a new car.

You seem awfully confused. Obama told us that the government found this
money someplace and he is a really smart guy..
Except that he never said any such thing. You need to develop some
more plausible lies if you're going to use strawmen as your primary
argumentative style.


No strawman involved. They ran through the first billion and Obama said
they "found" more money to keep the program going.


And just to give you a chance to enlighten us apparently confused folks
where exactly does he actually get the money to pay for these programs?


Please provide the time and place where obama said "I found this money
someplace"


Around 5:30 on Wednesday at a local pizza shop that happened to have a
TV on. It was the typical liberal "I am such a uber smart person and
found money to do this" comment. No clue where he happened to be
speaking. The "found" referred to some shell game move it from someplace
else deal.


Please answer my question about where he actually gets the money to pay
for these programs?


Irrelevent. The claim was that he said "I found this money someplace"

As far as the source, it is the same as everything else congress does:
they pay by taxing and borrowing. Is this something that has to be explained to you?
