The government has come up with another successful program doing what they do best - giving away money! All you have to do is take in any old car and if you buy a new car with better gas mileage, you get a free check from the government from between $3500-4500 dollars, and of course you improve the environment at the same time by reducing all those nasty gas guzzling cars that Americans seem to love.
In just one week, the "Cash for Clunkers" program blew through its billion dollar budget and was on the verge of being canceled. But our benevolent government quickly came to the rescue. In a matter of hours the House of Representatives found another $2 billion laying around and the program is back on again. A few billion here, a few billion there, I love the way our politicians enjoy spending our money - money we don't have.
This program has been so successful, I understand that as part of the new Health Care Reform Bill the Democrats are considering a "Cash for Senior Clunkers" program, so that when us old folks reach a point where the government decides it is no longer cost effective to give us health care, our kids can turn us in to the local government-run euthanasia facility and get a cash rebate. It's comforting to know that someday my kids will at least get back a small portion of the taxes I have paid all these years.

Cash for Clunkers is all about saving the environment, right? Or is that saving the car manufacturers?
