“Well, again, the American people do understand this Pelosi-Obama-Reid health care package. And, you know, I think one of the great examples of government efficiency we saw in August, Cash for Clunkers. It was a program, actually pretty simple program. You turn in your old gas guzzler, you trade it in for a more fuel-efficient car. We give you a tax credit. They take your old car, put it out to pasture and put it down. And, you know, it's kind of an easy thing to follow. Stimulates the car dealerships. Well, that program was supposed to last from August to November. It was a $1 billion program. I think they hired 100 employees, came back a week later and said they needed 1,100 employees and $3 billion. And even doing that, Cash for Clunkers was dead and defunct within a matter of weeks. So you now feel that that same government that brought us Cash for Clunkers, a $3 billion program, is going to be able to run a $2 trillion health care bill.”
