Auto Workers Rejoice

The dinosaur media, that has Obama's back, trumpeted 1300 workers returning to GM assembly lines as the triumph of the President's Cash for Clunkers (CARS) program. A three billion dollar program, a little over a thousand jobs returned to a nationalized industry, swimming in subsidies-$200,000 plus cost to the taxpayer per job-sounds like government efficiency to me. Dealers are becoming increasingly reluctant to take part in the CARS program as the government is not prompt in its payment ethic. It is a shame the auto dealers can not repo Washington and let us start from scratch with new models with that new Congress smell, but not to worry, come 2010, we'll all get a whiff of it as Obama is now urging soon departing Democrats to go it alone on health care. Unless the Democrats and Acorn succeed with massive and unprecedented vote fraud (take this as a warning that they intend to try)-the kind they routinely accused Republicans of (that did not happen), expect to see the new House of Representatives chock full of shiny new conservatives in the election cycle that can not come fast enough. And the third of the Senate that is up has plenty of Harry Reid-type clunkers high on mileage and ready for a trade.
