Cash for Clunkers: Fraud Upon Fraud
(Credit: Karrmann)
The Truth About Cars reports the fraud associated with the government’s latest excuse to waste taxpayer money has begun.
In case you’re not familiar with the Car Allowance Rebate System (CARS), it is yet another manifestation of the religion of global warming and another way to exact tithes from the American people. It is also known as “Cash for Clunkers.”
Ostensibly the idea is to get those old evil high-pollution cars off the road so that we can save the earth from going up in a ball of fire. In order to entice people to get rid of their old gas-guzzling clunkers, the government is using your money to pay people to trade in their old cars on newer, more fuel-efficient ones.
This is of course being done in the name of solving a problem that only exists in the mind of High Priest Al Gore and his disciples (the rest of us realize the most overwhelming evidence points to natural, cyclic climate change).
Anyway back to the fraud reported by The Truth About Cars:
TTAC just got a call from the Department of Transportation (DOT). The agency in charge of implementing the Cash for Clunkers program gave us a heads-up that the Car Allowance Rebate System (their name) is already attracting scam artists (our name). To wit: cashforclunkersheadquarters.com and cashforguzzlers.net, which sucker surfers into “pre-registering” for the program. “There are a number of people out there who are implying that dealers and/or consumers need to register with them to be eligible for the CARS program,” DOT spokesman Rae Tyson reveals, leaving aside questions about what these sites may do with the information. “This is completely untrue.”
I would have to differ with The Truth About Cars on one important distinction about their headline: “Cash For Clunkers Fraud Begins.”
Cash for Clunkers fraud didn’t begin with the aforementioned websites; Cash for Clunkers is itself massive fraud perpetrated on the American taxpayer. Their hard-earned tax dollars are being confiscated by the federal government and given to other people to help them buy new cars, all in the name of fixing a problem that doesn’t even exist.
If that’s not fraud, I don’t know what is.
