No Cash for Suckers.

Next hospitals will have a Cash for Grannies program.

Here is a copy of the letter I began posting a couple weeks ago.

Obama’s Clunker of a Car Program

The “cash for clunkers” is in trouble not only because it is running out of money, but because dealers are unsure about how and if they will be reimbursed. The dealers sign all the papers with the customer, turn over the new car, and then submit the documents to the government for analysis and payment.

The process seems similar to the federal direct student loan program I refused to participate in when I was finance manager for a private college. After carefully reading the regulations, I discovered there was no point at which the Department of Education formally and unconditionally accepted the loan papers. Years later when a student defaulted there was nothing to prevent the government from returning the loan package to the college, and demanding payment in full for a just then discovered error according to the regulations they wrote. In Oregon I had the option of working with the state and private lenders to access the federal loan programs.

Car dealerships are not as fortunate. When other dealerships in the area are getting sales, a finance manager who brings up the uncertainties and frustrations of working with a typically imperious bureaucracy will lose.

The DOT released a statement through their spokesman, Eric Stratton:

“You f**ked up. You trusted us.”

[Anitius Severinus Boethius]

Hey, why don’t we just not pay the car dealers and we save $3 billion!

In Tulsa, dealership owner Henry Primeaux said he has yet to receive a single refund from the Department of Transportation on $450,000 worth of rebates his company has submitted.

How totally lacking of American way of him to complain in these times of crisis! /major sarcasm

We've been saying for over a year now that these Keystone Kops politicians, advisors and administrators haven't a clue about anything, and are fundamentally incompetent.

And these are the same people who want to run our entire health system?

Yeah.... right!

[Drill Thrawl]

We’re going to run out of money pretty fast I think that is the idea.

[Rome2000]

This is perfect, crooked car dealers being taken for a ride by socialist crook democrats!

HAR!!!!!!!

Outstanding!

[YHAOS]

The shape of things to come if we accept 0bamacare

[rawhide]

It would be interesting to find out if the dealers who are not getting their money, are mostly foreign branded car dealers, whereas the ones who are getting reimbursed, are domestic branded car dealers?

[taxtruth]

I hope the dealers get screwed just for sucking up to the devil.

[Caipirabob]

Seeing as how mostly just Republican owned car dealerships got dropped when the administration ordered dealerships to be purged a short while ago, it's likely that many of these GM and Chrysler dealerships were socialist-lovers.

They can burn for all I care.

[HighlyOpinionated]

They should have given every car owner $4500 and let us use it as we wish. My car gets 35-39 mpg. It has 300,000 miles on it. I’ll NEVER qualify for any cash for clunker program.

And don’t even suggest I purchase a hybrid or electric car. Do you know how they make electricity?

C4C is a quagmire.

[right way right]

If I were President of Ford Motor Company I would slam the door on the cash for clunkers program in the Fed Govs face and advertise the fact to the hilt.

I just know they would gain market share!
I don't understand this lack of connection with the consumer. At first Ford did not take money from the government and they blew that opportunity to drum up customers.
Now they take part in this bull.
