Our government is officially sponsoring a genocide — of cars.
Various congressmen gathered with Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood Monday morning to kick off the new buyer incentive program, the Car Allowance Rebate System at the Department of Transportation. The “Cash for Clunkers” program allows people to trade in old cars for a rebate of up to $4,500 to buy a more environmentally friendly car in hopes of boosting the auto industry.
LaHood sounded a bit vicious in explaining the process, describing it as essentially a “murdering” of the car.
After a deal is made with a car dealership, sodium silicon is poured onto the car, the engine then fogs, and is towed away, he explained.
“The car is dead,” LaHood said. “We kill the car.”
We’re sure he hopes the program will only puts cars on the chopping block. When asked what would happen if the $1 billion they have allocated for the program (about 250,000 cars) should run out, LaHood answered, “Stay tuned.”
