The rush to participate blindsided officials.<br /><br /><b>Faulty central planning</b><br /><br />Germany, a country with one-third the population of the United States, kicked off a similar program this year — funded at $7 billion. There were indications for months that U.S. car buyers were delaying their purchases until the cash-for-clunkers incentive took effect.<br /><br /><b>Massive cost overruns</b><br /><br />Assuming that the additional $2 billion is approved, the cost of the program to taxpayers will have tripled in about two weeks' time. Although proponents may say that's a good investment, it highlights the government's inability to accurately assess the long-term cost of its own programs.</i><br /><br /><a href="http://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/obama_clunkers_healthcare/2009/08/05/244245.html" rel="nofollow">Bodes Ill for Healthcare</a>samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11856051164644278989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-70731561890756910632009-08-06T01:40:27.432-04:002009-08-06T01:40:27.432-04:00Cornyn responded by accusing the White House of co...<i>Cornyn responded by accusing the White House of compiling an "enemies list." In a letter to the president, Cornyn urged Obama to provide Congress with more details on what the White House plans to do with anyone reported for "fishy" speech.<br /><br />"I am not aware of any precedent for a president asking American citizens to report their fellow citizens to the White House for pure political speech that is deemed 'fishy' or otherwise inimical to the White House's political interests," Cornyn wrote.<br /><br />"You should not be surprised that these actions taken by your White House staff raise the specter of a data collection program. As Congress debates health care reform and other critical policy matters, citizen engagement must not be chilled by fear of government monitoring the exercise of free speech rights," he wrote.</i><br /><br /><a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2009/08/05/pr-war-erupts-dems-gop-health-reform/" rel="nofollow">Opponents Over Substance</a>samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11856051164644278989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-44628369639810598962009-08-06T00:52:48.904-04:002009-08-06T00:52:48.904-04:00Doug's been giving me a "hard" time,...Doug's been giving me a "hard" time, recently.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-25624071925746451952009-08-06T00:52:00.067-04:002009-08-06T00:52:00.067-04:00If the "blogosphere" doesn't have a ...If the "blogosphere" doesn't have a ball with this I'll be surprised.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-7738156069363470612009-08-06T00:44:03.534-04:002009-08-06T00:44:03.534-04:00I gave them Ash's Blog.
