Taxpayers Paid $51M in Green Car Subsidies Linked to VW Diesels If you think the Volkswagen diesel emissions scandal only affects owners of those vehicles, think again. A report by The Los Angeles Times claims U.S. taxpayers shelled out $51 million in green car subsidies directed at Volkswagen diesel vehicles. According to The Times, model year 2009 Volkswagen Jetta and Jetta SportWagen TDI diesel vehicles qualified for a $1,300 tax credit. An estimated 39,500 buyers took advantage of the credit, which means taxpayers spent around $51 million on green car subsidies for vehicles that were far from green. wot.motortrend.com

So that's how it works, huh? ... The economy made the Republican majority leader resign. Riggghhhhttt..... HAHAHAHA. Wingers have been sold a pack of lies by the party of "no", buy into it, and then eat their own. Boehner quit because he couldn't advance anything other than measures destined to fail from the start - several dozen right-wing extremists made it so. That was his parting message. The self-destruction caused by the radical right... its a thing of beauty to behold.
