INTRIGUED · 07-31-2009

Just goes to show that they were not prepared for the mass amounts of people that wanted to cash in. $4,500 plus the 2-4k discounts on new cars, people were naturally going to flood the market on this deal. A government program should never be "suspended" because they are going "oh shit we didn't think it would go this fast what do we do?". I was just talking to a guy at work about this just before it started. I knew there would be some type of hang up in this and it wouldn't be a seamless effort. Sometimes quick effort to a problem presents issues the government doesn't account for.
