Now The Popular Car Program Is Our Katrina

There may be some economic problems with cash-for-clunkers, like how it only subsidizes those who've purchased lousy, obnoxious automobiles in the past, but here is some strange NPR lady on the television dabbling in monstrosities: "Cash for Clunkers is like a mini-Katrina here. I mean it’s not good to start a program and not be able to execute it." Hmm. We think she is confusing "a mini-Katrina" with "the Holocaust." Try that out: "Cash for Clunkers is like the Holocaust here." That's better. [ ThinkProgress ]
