Cash for Clunkers

OMG the $950 Million Dollar Cash for Clunkers Federal Govt deal has been suspended after only 4 days. The govt. thinks they have already reached the limit and the auto dealers have warned the goverment that "they are in danger of losing track of how many trades have actually been made."
Now how do I translate that statement. It means one of two things to me.

A. The people we have working for us (auto dealers) can't add two plus two.
OR
B. And this is my pick - We have been trying to rip off the program and we just can't figure out how to report the numbers so we don't get caught.

Good news is that the govt has already rejected a boatload of claims due to incomplete or illegible paperwork. Translation: trying to get one over on us huh?
Question - why didnt this program make it mandatory to purchase an American Made car to qualify for the rebate???????

Another go green sugguestion also seems on the ridiculous side to me.
We have been encouraged to stop using those plastic bags at the grocery store.
Did anyone besides my husband notice that those plastic bags are made in the USA and the ones they offer for sale for for free in their place are made in CHINA????
I say keep using the plastic, there is no law against using the same ones over and over until they are useless. In the meantime, lets stop supporting other country's people and keep employing our own while encouraging them to go green and make resuable bags here in the USA.
