For FREE!?!?!? What??? Did Caterpillar donate the engines? That would be free. No the government paid for them and where does the government get their money? "Free"...geeze, it's boggles my mind how people think that gov't money is different from your money. By the way, I thought "Cash for Clunkers" was a pretty creative program but make no mistake, we all paid for it.
Also the tickets were $50, $4 cheaper than some normal dinner cruises.
