Cash for clunkers bills runs out of money.

If you consider a '95 Explorer with 125,000+ miles and a failing transmission a nice car then go for it. But what happens when that car inevitably fails, sooner rather than later, is the government on the hook then? Some of you guys want smaller government but at the same time want the government to run a program that takes over-valued trade-ins and gives them to poor families. Sounds like bigger government to me.
