More Cash For Clunkers

The Republicans have decided to allow a vote on more money for the "Cash for Clunkers" program.

I think the turning point came when Harry Reid told a little white lie, that the cash would go for the Senate Republicans' reelection campaigns. Because, of course, that would be cash for clunkers.

[Allow laughter to die down. Heh heh...]

Speaking of clunkers (cars), why don't we, the taxpayers, buy up all the clunkers, then put them in a huge storage facility and just keep them till they're classics, then sell them at a huge profit?

I've seen it plenty of times that a farmer will have an old 1919 Ford or something in his field, worthless as can be. But then a collector will show up and give him a few thousand dollars just for the old carcass.

There was a place I was at in Nebraska that had old cars lining the river bank, at a bend, to keep the river bank from washing away. It was ugly as can be but apparently effective. I always wondered if some of those cars would've been classics by now had they not been stuck on the river bank.
