On top of that with the dealerships not getting their money. GM has started reimbursing directly rather than having to wait... Oh big surprise, since they can guarantee their own money and it's coming out of tax payers pockets already let's create an unfair advantage for a car manufacturer that's government owned operating in the private sector! Fucking Fascist through and through...

oh yes the government does have such authority to offer such rebates, tax savings, and so forth. this was also an environmental program originally anyways. nobody bitched much though when bush had the hummer tax credit program.
did you know that you are completely wrong? they do not have to crush the cars nor every part of them. they have to sieze the engine up making that unusable, mostly done with using a glass additive poured into the tank. they then can junk the car, where the junkyard can do whatever it wants with the cars. all of the usable parts may be recycled. only downside is most of the cars value is in the engine and the siezing often ruins others additional parts. however they can use up all the parts, air bags, lamps, so forth.
everyone also will get their money and it will happen fast with the program now over. having them have to wait net 30 or net 60 is far from crazy. added with that many makers also fronted the rebate as an instant rebate during the last few weeks of the program. as i have said along with many others. if the dealers could not survive without the cash from the government for 30-60 days then they were about to go bankrupt anyways. not to mention they are not even required to pay for the cars in advance, they have good grace periods themselves.
the evil program also just announced they are extending the deadline for paperwork for the dealers to give the slackers a extra chance to get any extra paperwork filed with them. this really shows they want to make sure everyone is paid.
