Additionally, of that $130 billion:
48.5 billion are in the form of loan guarantees not direct payment.
That's 81.5 billion
9 billion is in the form of a line of credit.
That's 72 billion
The cash for clunkers amounted to 3 billion not the 16 billion as quoted in your link.
That's 69 billion
Direct
loans, according to the story, amounts to 32.5 billion
That's 36.5 billion
According to the story their is a 9 billion tax credit on interest of car loans. That never materialized.
So the grand total (which the story doesn't account for) is 25.5 billion of what we don't know because the story doesn't say.
The next time you try to bolster even attempt to bolster your argument, try using real figures not ones that were proposed yet never implemented.
