Good Morning and welcome to Friday!
So, the Cash for Clunkers program is scheduled to end Monday. Over the last few days, car dealers have been complaining about the program, which has been so successful it ran out of money.
Dealers, it appears, are doing too much business. The government is taking its own sweet time refunding the money (although if you've ever dealt with a government agency you know why) and those gas-guzzling junkers are piling up on back lots.
The bottom line, though, is people seem to be buying new cars, something that hasn't been happening over the last couple of years.
Lest you forget, the U.S. car manufactures all went thought bankruptcy, shut down plants and laid off too many workers.
Now, they are getting orders and selling cars. When the program ends Monday, so will a lot of the car buying.
Then again, what would we be if not a bunch of complainers. Need another example? Check out any of the health care debates.
Of course, this is just more ways for the government to take over your lives (on a side, that wingnut Glen Beck should get his own late-night conspiracy program):
