How can anyone possibly know that at this point?

I mean, if it's the company that produces Hummers, of course they are going ask people to believe something like that. But if that's who was saying it (and since no specifics were given it could just as easily be that company saying it as not), the rest of the statement would sort of fall flat.

I wouldn't in a millions years disagree with you there.

I imagine there are a lot of things we're paying for that, if we knew all the details, we wouldn't be very happy. Since it's over with now though, if Cash 4 Clunkers had flaws, lessons will hopefully be learned, and future programs will benefit.
