Cash for clunkers was a charitable donation by the tax payers to help keep money flowing in the economy and prevented a total colapse of the auto industry. Some good and some bad came out of the program.
Now that I see how easy it is to give taxpayers money to charities I am going to try to become a charity case.
I do realize I will be at the back of the line behind - Lawyers, politician family members, wall street, bankers, insurance companies, foriegn terrorists, foriegn countries, foriegn health care, foriegn welfare, ACORN, senators pet projects, medicare, medicade, Social Security, Health care, welfare, fannie mai, freddie mac, stimulas projects, green energy companies, schools, FAA, SEC, IRS, Amtrack, ........ Oh heck, never mind, I have to go back to work so I can buy gas for my boat next week!
