The Federal Government suspended its Cash for Clunkers program after less than a week. Before it even started the government computers that registered the car dealers crashed because they could not handle the number of dealers. The system then could not keep up with the customer demand in the few days it was open to consumers. The Department of Transportation, which runs the program needs time to sort out how much money is left in the $1 Billion fund. This was the program created by Congress to help the car industry, get rid of gas-guzzlers and have consumers buy more fuel efficient vehicles. The Cash for Clunkers program has crashed and will need more taxpayer money before it gets running again.
This is the same Federal Government & Congress that wants to rush out a complete overhaul of our health care program. Can we afford to have our health care program crash too?
