Your government at work

It will cost over 1 trillion dollars of additional debt to finance Obamacare. A lot of money you say for the government to run our health care system. Indeed it is and clearly we can't afford it. However, the issue goes well beyond cost as it strikes directly at our governments ability to organize and execute ANY program.
We all know about Amtrak, the Post Office, Medicare but the latest and best indication of our governments ineptitude, is the "cash for clunkers" initiative.
Only 1 Billion dollars was allocated to this program to stimulate new car sales. Just bring your clunker in an receive up to $4500 plus other incentives the dealer may offer. Sounds like a plan...well it is! But guess what, after 1 week, it was so popular, the government ran out of money! Now how can that happen? Well, the program gave money back to individuals for trading your old car for a new one.... It gave money back. Everyone can understand that process and it's crazy that the Liberals in Congress could not see how that logic applied in the "stimulus boondoggle." WHY DID THEY NOT JUST GIVE THE STIMULUS MONEY BACK TO THE PEOPLE?? Less than 10% of the $787 billion has been spent and the "jolt" to the economy is now a "2 year plan".
So now they are stumbling to find more money for the new car program. How stupid, inept and inaccurate could they be just allocating only 1 billion dollars?. Actually, it is clearly emblematic of their handling the 1 trillion dollars for healthcare.
Folks, if the car rebate program doesn't tell you all you need to know about your governments ability to run ANYTHING, then you need to move to Cuba.
