Cash for Clunker (in)Competence

At a time when -- one would think -- the Obama Administration would be pulling out all the stops to prove their thesis that government solutions lower costs and deliver better service, Administration supported government programs don't seem to be faring too well:

Hundreds of auto dealers in the New York area have withdrawn from the government's Cash for Clunkers program, citing delays in getting reimbursed by the government, a dealership group said Wednesday.

The Greater New York Automobile Dealers Association, which represents dealerships in the New York metro area, said about half its 425 members have left the program because they cannot afford to offer more rebates. They're also worried about getting repaid.

And Obama expects us to believe claims that expanding government involvement in the health sector will improve quality of care and reduce costs?
