I'd think it was real funny too.
IF IT WASN'T MY GOD DAMN MONEY.
Yeah, that’s the idiocy of this. The government is in debt. It doesn’t have any money. So they grab money out of our pocket, then give it back to us after skimming about 75% for “administrative costs.” Of course, government being government, it’s probably impossible to track the actual costs of these rebates, but I’d wager that each $4500 check costs the taxpayer over $20,000 by the time you figure up the costs of advertising to the dealer, creating and distributing the forms, etc.
Hey! I’m used to politicians and their political B.S. Sometime, check on Gov. Jane Hull’s (AZ) clean air vehicle fiasco. She was paying big taxpayer bucks to buy “clean air” vehicles for people in Arizona. The enviroloonies suckered her into it. The people here were buying them and selling them to Californians and making a killing at it. ROTFL!!! It surprises me that Rush Limbaugh has been on the radio for so many moons and yet politicians still haven’t figured out how dynamic and static scoring work. I picked up on it the first time he talked about it. Unfortunately, the politicians are all stuck on stupid. They can afford to be. Like you said, it’s our money they are throwing in the toilet.
