FORD FALLS BEHIND TOYOTA & NEW GM IN “C4C” WELFARE RACE

[Get the latest “Truth With Speedzzter” Here]

William Clay Ford, Jr.’s freeloading plan to cash in on the bailout bonanza through the awful “Cash for Clunkers” welfare plan hasn’t worked out so well.

According to the latest National Highway Traffic Safety Administration data, the EVIL EMPIRE (Toyota) and the New Obama Motors (the New GM) have both passed FoMoCo in the battle to sell taxpayer-subsidized wimpmobiles to welfare-guzzling appliance motorists.

The Financial Times (linked from the Drudge Report) provides the details:

Toyota has an 18.9 per cent share of vehicles bought so far, putting it ahead of General Motors with 17.6 per cent and Ford with 15.4 per cent. Chrysler is in fifth place, after Honda.

Three of the top five welfare whips are hideous FWD Toyotas.

So how’s that “hope and change” working out for you, Li’l Billy?

Meanwhile, “C4C” welfare pimp Rep. Joe Sestak, D-Pa. wrote a complaint letter to President Obama’s hapless NHTSA, griping that the deficit-bloating, borrowed/printed welfare handouts to dealers aren’t flowing fast enough.

“Welfare Joe” Sestak is challenging former RINO Arlen Specter (Disloyal Turncoat-Pa.) for the Democratic nomination for U.S. Senate in 2010, so his noisy whining is undoubtedly a grandstanding ploy.

Bailout Booster Sestak alleged that the federal government had only paid out 2 percent of the welfare moocher claims submitted by the free money-hungry Auto Vandals/Dealers, while four of every five applications had been "rejected for minor oversight."

Of course anyone who has ever spent any time around a “car jacket” (auto grifter-speak for a car dealer’s file on a sales transaction) knows that paperwork compliance is usually not the strong suit of most vehicle retailers.

And as the prescient "Turbo Regal" stated over at Bangshift.com "Imagine, a government program that lots of people sign up for because they think you can get something for nothing, but in the end, fails to deliver on its promises."

Spot on, Turbo Regal!

(Isn't the dealership business model outdated anyway?)

Too bad "Welfare Joe" didn't "reject" the Ca$h for Clunker$ scam because of the "minor oversight" that the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT IS VIRTUALLY BANKRUPT AND IS BORROWING ALL OF THIS "TOYOTATHON"/"CAR ALLOWANCE REBATE SYSTEM" [sic] GIVEAWAY MONEY FROM OUR GRANDCHILDREN!

Joe Sestak is just another wild-spending welfare-monger seeking to buy his way up the political ziggurat by "spreading the [tax-funded]'graft' around." In other words, another typical Tammany Hall-inspired Democrat . . . .

As the ranks of the potentially collectible and donor vehicles slated for senseless extermination grows, more and more anecdotes of rare, unusual and irreplaceable milestone vehicles being destroyed for another Toyota Yaris welfare voucher are coming to light.

This sordid mess is an epic disaster. (Pretty much like the "Jac-the-Knife"/Li'l Billy era at FoMoCo . . .)
