This report just in from the field. It seems that Obama's "Cash for Clunkers" rebate program is having the usual issues associated with practically anything government run:
"Minnesota Auto Dealers Association vice president Scott Lambert said the government has created a program that’s “so big and cumbersome that it can’t find a way to accept anything. We’re sending in good, reliable deals.”
It’s nerve-racking for the dealers, he said, because they have given the customer $4,500 and now the dealers need to be reimbursed."
This problem report is just one of many surrounding this new initiative to get rid of gaz-guzzling vehicles. My advice to these guys in Minnesota is to call your new Senator, Al Franken and see what he can do. (Good luck with that.) But the real point here is to highlight a typical government program. Think of any experience you may have had in trying to clear up a problem in any organization run by the government. Paperwork, red tape, and rude and inept union employees that can never be fired. As soon as health care is socialized, that "Clunker" that you're trying to get help with could be your bad heart! Something to take comfort in.
