Free Money For Texans Buying Cars
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.

Sadly, this program would be cheaper and more effective at reducing air pollution than the emissions testings regimes used by most states.

So go buy a pre-96 junker for $100 and make out like a bandit.

We're seeing more and more evidence that the global warming theory is a hoax and money grab. NASA was just spotted with egg in it's face and had to edit their numbers on temperatures. These legislators are really going to be embarrassed and hopefully fired when the general public awakens to the fact that global warming caused by humans is a lie.
