-Cash for Clunkers: The debacle continues. Even Rep. Joe Sestak isn't happy.


Even liberal socialized healthcare pusher Rep. Joe Sestak realizes Cash for Clunkers is a stupid bureaucratic nightmare, and that is exactly what it has become.

The federal government has only reimbursed auto dealers for 2 percent of the claims they've submitted through the popular "cash for clunkers" program, a Pennsylvania congressman said, calling on the Obama administration to help speed up the process.

Rep. Joe Sestak, D-Pa., called for "immediate action" to address the problem in a statement Sunday, after writing a letter to President Obama Saturday expressing his concerns.

In the letter, Sestak said only 2 percent of claims have been paid and that four of every five applications have been "rejected for minor oversight."

In recent days, auto dealers across the country have been complaining that the reimbursement payments are slow to process. And they said some of their applications were being rejected because of apparent procedural issues. The statistics Sestak cited suggest those complaints are not based on isolated incidents.

Wait wait wait... did I read that correctly? 2% of the claims have been paid out? Hurray for government efficiency! Let them handle healthcare! Aw hell let them give all of us auto insurance and houses too! After all, it isn't fair that only the rich get those fancy things. We are a much evolved and enlightened society and EVERYONE should have them right? Wait for it friends.
