You seem to always avoid the idea that a government run program is only a good idea on rare occasions....having to struggle to come up with an example that could remotely be considered a positive should be a clue to how weak your arguments are in general.

AP sources: Govt to suspend 'cash for clunkers' Jul 30 07:39 PM US/Eastern By KEN THOMAS Associated Press Writer WASHINGTON (AP) - Congressional officials say the government plans to suspend the popular "cash for clunkers" program amid concerns it could quickly use up the $1 billion in rebates for new car purchases. The Transportation Department called congressional offices late Thursday to alert them to the decision to halt the program, which offered owners of old cars and trucks $3,500 or $4,500 toward a new, more fuel-efficient vehicle. The congressional officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak publicly. Through late Wednesday, 22,782 vehicles had been purchased through the program and nearly $96 million had been spent. But dealers raised concerns of large backlogs in the system, prompting the suspension.
