Can you just imagine the Government trying to run something as complicated as a health system? If they cannot run something as simple as the cash for clunkers program, they certainly aren’t qualified to run something complicated.

It appears that the CARS program is in real trouble. So far the Government has received 412,000 applications for roughly 1.7 billion dollars and has only processed a fraction of that money. That leaves car dealers being owed a lot of money. US News and World Reports stated that some car dealers are waiting for as much as $200,000 in payments. Thus far 80% of the rebates have been rejected. There is the Federal Government at work trying to do the car industry a favor.

The Government originally hired a little over 200 people to process all of the applications. They are in the process of hiring nearly 1,000 more people to speed up the process. Of course, that is after the delay of the hiring and training process occurs.

Then you have the Honorable Politician Barney Frank who was shown on television in a Town Hall meeting belittling and insulting the very people who unfortunately put him in office. Hopefully, this country will wake up and get rid of all of these politicians that are up for re-election. Barney Frank has nothing to do with the CARS story. However, like most in Washington, he kind of has something to do with ineptitude. The good news is that we don’t have to put up with these politicians as long as we are still allowed to vote.
