The popular but overwhelmed 'cash for clunkers' program is still rolling, but the White House says the Senate better approve $2 billion without delay or the big rebates for car buyers could sputter to an end by Friday. (Aug. 3)

What a brilliant plan...the government takes on more debt to fund a program that encourages individuals to take on more debt.

People with $900 cars are trading them in for max C.A.R.S. amount, and financing the rest. Many won't make the payments.

My pops was an immagrant, however, he learned the language, the customs and the laws because he knew if he did, he could go ferther with an education than sitting around waiting for a hand out. Truth, Justice, and the American Way!, is what my father believed in.

Lets all break our windows and stimulate the glass industry.

Mon, you obviously don't know much about how illegal immagrants that steal from us. The women come pregnant over the border so their babies can be born American citizens. Seven million of them. Most do not pay taxes because they are working illegally and under the table. We pay them money for which they've never earned. We have to teach them in Spanish because they weren't raised here. How this ever was allowed to happen I don't get and I'm paying for them. They are criminals. Not US citizens.

"shame on you all for being duped into this and shame on car dealers for taking advantage of everybody!" and Shame on us for sitting by and let this happen.

Do you know why no one talks about illegal immigrants because immigrants don't drain anything from this country. It's our fucking stupid programs, like welfare and useless social programs that suck the blood out of us and how about those bailouts? Aliens, they come in, work, pay taxes, and they hide because they're afraid of deportation. Please don't be distracted from the real problem.

With STD on the rise, I think cash for used dildo is also good. People can trade in their used dildos for cash and buy new ones and for those who can't afford new ones, they can borrow from government subsidized loan program. This will keep people from having sex with different partners therefore std will be drastically reduced. Next cash for prostitution for lonely people to prevent them from suicidal and random shooting.

I think we should approve another 100 trillion cash for dirt. You trade your dirty or pebbles for cash.

sclock2,

Sorry to hear about that, but since they pass another $2 billion...hopefully they will change the mpg from 18 to 20. If you can get $4,500 for your Taurus, it'll definitely be worth it.

Some of the comments in here are ridiculous. CASH FOR PORN. CASH FOR BOOBS.

But there's a saying that: At first, some ppl will hate it....and then some will even protest against it...but in the end...they'll accept it.

$3 billions to help the economy is better than $3 billions for war.

at $1bil, =.007% of automarket for Toy, GM, Ford, at $3bil = .021%(2.1%)....When finished everyone else will then wait for the next "Deal". Obama is less than a car salesman, he is a snake oil salesman. Further, let's stimulate some other things under Obama: Cash for Abortions; Cash for Vasectomy; Cash for Military Resignations; Cash for Breast Enlargement(Now that might stimulate something).

you are just a dumbass. yeah bush sucked but your savior obama will have us begging for bush back and this asinine program just proves that liberals are the most clueless on the economy.
