Cash for Clunkers Gains Senators' Support

This is potentially good news. Meanwhile, the GOP is trying to kill the program because it has been a success. Any success that could be attributed to the Democrats -- regardless of merit -- will be opposed by the Republicans. That's a given.

I actually heard one GOPer (I forget who) saying that the Cash for Clunkers program "went bankrupt" and was therefore a huge failure. What nonsense.

There was new hope for the Cash for Clunkers program late today, when two senators lifted their objections to an emergency bill passed by the House of Representatives last week to pump for funding into the popular program.

While many roadblocks still remain, with the blessing of senators Diane Feinstein, D-Calif., and Susan Collins, R-Maine, passing a clunkers refill by the end of the week suddenly seemed a lot more likely.

1. Cash for clunkers

helps U.S. automakers, who are unionized. The GOP hates unions because they want a really cheap supply of labor for corporations.
