Cash-for-Clunkers is so messed up that even a liberal Democrat is calling it messed up.

Turns out car dealers can’t pry money out of the federal government to pay for the clunkers they took in trade. So Democrat congressman Joe Sestak of Pennsylvania is demanding “immediate action” from President Obama to correct the problem that Democrats themselves caused by rushing the Cash-for-Clunkers fiasco into law.

According to Sestak, only 2% of claims have been paid and 80% of the applications have been “rejected for minor oversight.”

Auto dealers across the fruited plain are pissed that the government’s Cash-for-Clunkers reimbursement payments are taking far longer than had been promised. Sestak says those complaints aren’t isolated incidents.

One billion dollars down. Another two billion to go. Ain’t big government great?

What a disgrace. Where is that money??? And where the hell will the two billion additional dollars go? Furthermore, destroying these perfectly reasonable cars has reduced the fleet from which our teenage children can choose. Not everyone can afford a brand new car. Ridiculous. Not to mention the fact that the dealers are screwed due to these “technicalities.” Who wins here?? Obeyme, I suppose.

And have we seen any investigative journalist comparing how innept the government is at running cash for clunkers, Obamanation says the feds can do a better job of delivering health care than the private sector?

Where is Patty Goldberg when we need her….she must have had her electricity turned off while she was waiting for her government checks.
