I'm busting out of retirement for this..

Are you kidding me?!?! That 3 bill better spent would just be wasted in some stupid govnt program that nobody would see a penny of. This money is ACTUALLY GOING INTO TAXPAYERS POCKETS! its unreal. I never thought I'd have a chance at 4500 of govnt cash.. but here we are! And people are actually complaining!

This is the best thing Obama has done since in office. Why the repubs are complaining is beyond be. The only problem i have with it is I wish they would salvage the good parts of the cars being turned in..
