I read the news that informs us that the government program in which $4,500 is being paid out to anyone who buys a new car and uses an old one as a trade-in is in complete disarray and ran out of cash in a matter of hours after the program began.
And I think about the fact that it'll be the same government bureaucrats running this fouled-up program in charge of telling surgeons how they'll be performing heart transplants in the not too distant future when ObamaCare is thrust upon us.
Why am I not enthused by that?
A separate thought: Any bets on whether we find out in months to come that people took advantage of the easy federal cash (that would be your cash, ahem) for their trash that had been under a tarp out back of the shed ($4,500!) in the same way Americans took advantage of those silly and misguided gun buy-back programs in which non-functioning and worthless firearms were traded for government moola?
Personally, I have no doubt. Americans aren't stupid. Some fool offers me $4,500 for a car that I couldn't get $75 for on eBay is getting my car.

Gee, this just isn't fair, Jerry. I don't own a clunker so, I won't get some of my money back from the gov't. Fairness, equal opportunity, racism, anti-elderly, religious discrimination, sexist, hate crime....Surely, there's something I can use to get my fair share. Maybe I'll ask the Justice Brothers, Sharpton and Jackson, for some tips. Could be there's something in the new CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) in the chapter right after How to Administer Authorized Heart Transplants. I understand it's indexed right after Payment Schedule for Surgeons, Heart. Not to be confused with Surgeons, General, Reimbursement Scale. Egad, the possibilities for complicated regulations is enormous. A bureaucrat's dream.
