This just in: the House of Representatives has just passed a measure that would add $2B to the Cash for Clunkers money pool. The vote was a lopsided 316 to 109, but next week's vote in the Senate isn't going to be so easy.
Several Republican Senators have already said they'll oppose it, while other Senators have said they'll push for a more stringent fuel economy spread. Should be an interesting battle.

How are these representatives so totally for this program??? This is like Bush's stimulus checks, a bad idea. We'll see the votes next week, if the program is still there.
