From the A Tiny Revolution post:
President Bush praised Yugoslavia for handing over Milosevic, saying the move showed the Balkan nation wants to turn away from ''its tragic past and toward a brighter future.''
Absurdly, the current argument is that the Bush administration should not not be prosecuted because the United States needs to look "away from its tragic past and toward a brighter future" so as not to become victim of unproductive partisan bickering.

But how many of those clunkers would have been sold into the market right now without this program? It's the large credit that is causing people to part with their old vehicles.
This is also being sold to the public as beneficial since it gets those environmentally unfriendly clunkers off the road, and, by design, NOT into the possession of someone looking to purchase a cheap used vehicle.
All those "clunkers"? They were traditionally immediately auctioned into the bottom rungs of the used car market.
There was a good discussion this morning with someone involved with this case. I didn't catch who she was. Appealing to the SC is still an option, but they have not yet decided to proceed at this point.
