I called my favorite salesman at one of the Largest well actually the largest GM dealerships in MI to give him my new cell No. I asked him how the cash for Clunkers deal was going and he stated "heaven help us if they ever pass government run healthcare". Since this fiasco started they have changed the rules 3 different times. The dealership he works at has submitted over 100 deals to the government (well actually to Obama) and have had 0 responses. Thankfully the owner of the dealership is smart enough not to finalize any deals until getting the Gov money, unlike some dealers who have actually allowed those clunker folks to drive off in their new rides. Now of course the whole thing has been suspended with its future in doubt. Proof once again the Government can take over just about anything and f--- it up in short order. |

While I appreciate your anecdote, it also contains a couple of interesting contradiction. Apparently, from your paragraph, we know that there are a number of businesses in Michigan that are going forward with the plan regardless of government back-up - sounds like they are getting ahead of their feet.
What your description tells us, really, is that some people operate okay within a system of rules and others don't really plan that far ahead. It sounds to me like your argument here actually says, "Anybody can screw something up and the government, ran by people, is just as likely to mess up too." |

My salesmen friend said it was the biggest boondoggle he has ever seen. Like he stated thankfully his boss is smart enough not to complete any deals until the government does their part.
Heres an update on the whole scheme.

Interesting, I read the same "story" verbatim from someone else on another site.
Your "salesman" sure is popular. |

Instead of bailouts give every person a vocher for $10,000 to buy a new car.

Good for you
Fstar
at least we now know you have moved beyond the Flint forum. I am not surprised at all that someone else had the same experience with their salesmen this whole thing is a friggin mess. How about you get with your Washington contacts at one of those 'bigshot Martini meetings you have and find out whats being done to fix this fiasco.
YA RIGHT
by the way heres another take on it.
