Hello, McFly ...

It was the best $3 billion ever spent in the last decade and we're gonna discontinue it. What a country! We should throw another $2 billion at the program instead of cutting it off.

...

The “Cash for Clunkers” program has also met a similar fate, with the government announcing the plan would end on Monday after dealers reported that the plan had exceeded their wildest expectations ...


And a word to the whiny, bitchy car dealers:

... Dealers had also been grousing that they hadn’t been paid by the government for the $4,500 outlays they’d made on about 80 percent of the cars. (A company pissed off because IT has to wait for a rebate… The irony is so thick, it’s delicious.) ...


Dickheads, the U.S. government pays every ninety days. As the son of a man who made his money as a defense contractor during the Vietnam war, I learned this when I was 3. Shut up, your money will get there. Got a problem with cash flow? Get a short term loan on your sales for the past 6 weeks. Good God, I gotta explain everything?
