What happens when we run out of Doctors in ObamaCare?

How's my flux capacitor doc?

Why they’ll send over some workers from the FAA of course! We all know doctors go through 10+ years of schooling simply because they want to help people out of the kindness of their heart. They don’t want profit, ObamaCare can tell them they won’t get fully reimbursed and they’ll just take it because they are just good people.

But seriously, if Cash for Clunkers isn’t a quintessential example of government bureaucracy failure in our time, what is? We already have impending insolvency in Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid. Cash for Clunkers is insolvent after less than a month, and it is over a thousand times smaller than ObamaCare. If you can ignore the facts that it doesn’t even put “green cars” out or does not get people to buy American or promptly reimburse dealers, then ya its a great program. But who can ignore that?

This is good news as it opens more eyes to why we shouldn’t pass ObamaCare.

Cash For Clunkers Not So Green?

While the Whitehouse won’t release the specifics on cars bought with the Cash 4 Clunkers program, a quick look at Edmunds.com shows how much the dems have been wrong in toting it as a successful green program.
The #1 Car is the Ford Escape, a compact SUV or SUV, as described by Edmunds.com, its fuel economy ranges from 21-24 mpg depending on the model you buy. With a comfortable 171 to 240 HP to tow your kids to soccer practice.

#2 selling is the Ford Focus which doesn’t even break the 30 mpg range, sitting at 28 mpg. Who cares about its HP?
#3 SUV Jeep Patriot (25 mpg) 158 – 172 HP
#4 Dodge Caliber (22-27 mpg) 148 – 285 HP
#5 Ford F-150 (15-17 mpg with over 51 different styles!) 248 – 310 HP wooooooo!

All excellent vehicles, and I applaud this change towards buying bigger better autos. Hell, if I was given the prospect of turning in a junker in order to get my money back from the government and buy an F150 I’d go for it! [not really, I just like to spoil the environMENTALists fun]. The only real fuel efficient cars that break 30 mpg aren’t in the top 5 and number 7 is the Chevy Silverado with 15-17 mpg with 255 – 345 hp. They can hide their numbers and birth certificates[LOL] but we’ll find them somehow!

Thank you Democrats. I’m pretty excited about this now, more SUV’s and trucks to eat my dust!

Big Trucks Mmmmmmmmmm

Cash For Clunkers Success Report Being Hidden

The left is parading the cash for clunkers program as a success, however they are unwilling to release the actual data from the car dealers and manufacturers on how exactly successful the program is.

This from Michelle Malkin

The Obama administration is refusing to release government records on its “cash-for-clunkers” rebate program that would substantiate—or undercut—White House claims of the program’s success, even as the president presses the Senate for a quick vote for $2 billion to boost car sales.

Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said Sunday the government would release electronic records about the program, and President Barack Obama has pledged greater transparency for his administration. But the Transportation Department, which has collected details about 157,000 rebate requests, won’t release sales data that dealers provided showing how much U.S. car manufacturers are benefiting from the $1 billion initially pumped into the program.

The Associated Press has sought release of the data since last week. But the public and Senate Republicans demanding more information will have to wait for details because federal officials running the program don’t have time to turn over data delivered by car dealers, said Rae Tyson, spokesman for the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

You would think that they would be throwing the numbers in our faces, but they refuse to provide them to even those on their side, the AP. They want 2 Billion more to extend the program but cannot show us the hard numbers. I guess that’s how they like to run things, give people NINJA loans. Provide no proof that they are benefiting Americans but want more money? This may not be the most transparent White House in that we can see what they are doing, but we can definitely see right through them.

Cash for clunkers is a failure

Andrew deRenzy — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 04:01:42 +0000

The state run media is exalting the cash for clunkers program as a huge success. despite its obvious flaws.

Out of budget in 1 week when projected for ~14 weeks.
Destroying perfectly good cars.
Taking cars off the list after having them on.
The cars that qualify may only be a few mpg better, (Global warming doesnt exist but if they are gonna claim we need more mpg cars then go all the way).
People see it as the government giving them money but it’s really their money to begin with.
Massive confusion whether the deals are still going on.
Why is it only helping only car companies? Where is the “Cash for Cluckers” and “Cash for Lumber” “Cash for Potato Couching”
Government is picking winners and losers
More borrowing money to get out of debt?

You can also just redline your car for a while to qualify it and get 4,500 off a new car.
