Those 3000 American Hyundai workers are probably laughing all the way back to the bank, off the unemployment lines, too.

I bought one because of its warranty and reliability MPH 24 etc but I did it on my own w/o $3 f'n billion dollars and expenses for the snail paced Gov. workers or the $4,500 in my pocket. Smart people would have come to this like decision anyway and why this move (cash for clunkers) was like pushing a pawn in front of a king after your Queen was begot. That’s why the GM bail was the start of a bad gambler chasing a bridge jump.

OB now wants to expand Medicaid as part of the new step-by-step program? What about the 2/3 of the $$$$ you (talking to Riot) spoke about? We still haven't heard the sad stories of the poor guy who bought a car using the $4500 as a down payment and bought a vehicle for 20K that was 16K pre clunker money @ 25% interest and they'll somehow blame the dealers. Give it 200 days. Can't fix a clunker with parts or stupid with insurance. To try will nickle and dime and billion and trillion yourself to death.
