Not true. I bought my truck last year after the Democratic Congress reinstated the big tax break for buying a heavy SUV used for work.

I would be pi**ed beyond belief if I was a car dealer. All that money spent on advertising???? This is utterly ridiculous.

First auto dealers live in fear of having their products pulled. Auto dealers have put their trust in the gov and purchased millions in advertising. I don't even know what to say...

Germany can do it right and America craps in it's pants.

That's what car dealers get for trusting the gubmint to keep its promise.

It's suspended because of the backlog of government paperwork. It could be months before the government figures out how many applied.

US 'Clunkers' Program Said to Be Out of Money
July 30 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. government’s $1 billion “cash for clunkers” program to spur new car sales “has been suspended” because it’s running out of money six days after it began, Senator Debbie Stabenow said.

Wasn't this only going to be available only until the money ran out anyway? What's the problem? It looks like it did exactly what they wanted it to do.

People who work hard and have been successful do not have or own clunkers!
