they DESERVE to sponge Well, to H E double toothpicks with them all. Would I take their damned porculus dollars? I'd be a fool not to if I qualified. Did I qualify? Yes, but my choices did not. My old car got 1 mpg too much mileage when it died, so it didn't qualify. If it had gotten 18 mpg instead of 19 mpg it might have paid to fix it up so it would run well enough that Obama could destroy it and I would get $4500 cash for clunkers and a new car instead of a used one. We put in an air conditioning unit this summer because we were so hot we couldn't sleep. The A/C company did not inform us that we could get a tax credit for installing a certain kind of unit, and they must have had the other kind in stock and couldn't unload it because everybody else wanted the tax credit. So I didn't get the Tax Credit for that either. Then my furnace died. By this time we were smart so we really wanted the replacement furnace that qualified for the $1500 tax credit, which would have reduced our out of pocket costs to about $600 less than we ended up paying for a less efficient model. We didn't get that tax credit either. The reason is the high efficiency furnaces put out so much condensate it has to be delivered to a drain inside the house, because outside it would freeze up and stop working. That meant a lot of drywall finishing would be torn up to route the drain tube to the only place where it could go. Clunkers: $4500 A/C: $1500 Furnace $1500 Taxpayers saved $7500
