Free Money For Texans Buying Cars

Posted by Dave Blount at August 10, 2007 10:44 AM

The latest example of socialism advancing under the cover of environmentalism reaches us from Texas, which will soon offer $3,500 vouchers to drivers of modest means to replace pre-1996 vehicles.

Older cars pollute more. According to global warming theology, each old car on the road could bring our planet a few fractions of a millisecond closer to apocalyptic doom.

Doom could be staved off a little longer if people drive environmentally ruinous yet politically correct hybrids, which is why you only get $3,000 if you replace your old car with a non-hybrid.

The Houston Comical reports that the "program is voluntary." That means you don't have to buy a new car, or take the free money if you do. Too bad it doesn't mean you don't have to provide the free money come April 15.

On a tip from V the K.
